The Flying Girl and Her Chum

As a follow on to a my previous submission:

Disappointingly, while the sequel "The Flying Girl and Her Chum" had a similar charm to the original, and even though it did mostly show women in a positive light, it didn't give a similar fair treatment towards equality of race and culture. As for the original "The Flying Girl", it was mostly about white Americans in California--and in retrospect, omission is a type of unfair treatment too.

Without excusing Baum, we do have to realize that equality for all has been an historical struggle and he wrote this book in 1912 (under a pen name Edith van Dyne). I'm mentally ill--I still use terms like "crazy" and "off the rails" myself--and have had other people chase me off calling me the same names to protect their turf IRL and on the net. I am a loss for answers--my expertise is in computers not social equality, but if anyone has comments, I'm open to listening to them.

I would have posted this as a comment on my other submission, but it is apparently closed to comment.
