The comic book Tintin in the Congo is pretty much banned in the USA for being too racist (even though a lot of Herge’s books, written in the 1930s, seem racist by today’s standards). The funny thing is that the Congolese seem to embrace Tintin—I think that interpretations of racism are incredibly different in the Congo than the USA.
