Breitbart London:
A Swedish council has admitted that local libraries have been throwing out copies of a popular children’s book because it contains racist expressions, with one local journalist even claiming the books are being burnt.
Older versions of the Pippi Langstrumpf [Pippi Longstocking] book entitled ‘Pippi in the South Seas,’ have been discarded by libraries in the Botkyrka municipality.
The Botkyrka council has denied claims by Swedish investigative journalist Janne Josefsson that libraries are specifically targeting Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Langstrumpf books, explaining that getting rid of books is a necessary process ‘in order for the space in the shelves to be sufficient.’
They stated that they get rid of books which are ‘worn out,’ ‘outdated’ or ‘have not been borrowed for a long time,’ but admitted to disposing of the Pippi Langstrumpf copies due to ‘racist’ content and replacing them with newer editions without the ‘racial’ phrases. MORE

Some American Historian, could buy them as a Mumento of Old Sweden !
I’m beginning to think that Sweden is a lost cause. What the hell, it’s in the Swedish mentality to give up to someone. They spent the whole second world war selling war supplies to Germany and making a handsome profit. I think stolen art ended up their on the auction block as well. In any event, it may be time to start thinning out the lines of security with the Swedes and to stop buying weapons from them as they may be in for a great internal upheavel soon.
Typical liberalism – the Swedish are more worried about offensive books than dealing with the real issues brought on by Muslim immigration — terrorism, rapes, assaults, murders, no go zones, and all those other pesky cultural differences. Pippi is the one that has to go to save the Swedes.
Surprised they didn’t just turn her into a transvestite hispanic named Pepe Calzaslargas…
That’s why all the good Swedes immigrated to America. Same old feudal elites running the joint. Name something off the top of your head (besides Swedish massage) that Sweden has given the world that is of any importance at all. Even Switzerland gave us that crazy “knife.”
Swedish Bikini Ski Team?

Meatballs.
flip — Yeah, they stole the recipe from the Norwegians.
💢 Liberal Tactic 💢
Do what you want NOW, and whittle down objections with a series of excuses LATER.
Eventually, you will wear down or satisfy most of the public until you reach an unconvinced and powerless minority, and by then, who cares, the fire has mostly been put out.
After WW2 ended, did the French flood into Sweden?
Yes, I believe the Nazis burned books for the same reason “because they were outdated and they needed the shelf space for newer books.”
Don’t worry, the Swedish libraries will fill the spaces left by The Pippi Purge with Korans. They are more relevant for Swedes now, anyway. 😕
If swedes don’t care about sweden, why should I?
No banning of any book ever!!!!!
My favorite childhood book was Little Black Sambo. Loved when he made pancakes with tiger butter at the end of the book. However, couldn’t find the book to read to my own kids.
Huck Finn?? To Kill a Mockingbird?? Pippi Longstockings?? This is getting ridiculous.
