> which were deliberately intended to demean black people in America

So if someone makes caricatures to demean the irish should we ban those? Seems pretty ridiculous...

Yes.

And maybe we should ban free speech too huh? That way nobody will ever get their feelings hurt.

Is there _anything_ that you wouldn't ban because it could offend some paper-skinned postgraduates? Am I still allowed to read Asterix?

No one is barred from reading these books.

Sure, anyone can read the books. Just buy them. You just have to open your own bookstore, your own rental operation for the building its in and your own payment processor. Also your own supplier, publisher and hosting provider for the company website residing in your own datacenter wired up by your own isp. Noone can claim he's being censored, it's not the government after all ;)
