I’m walking in Brooklyn with my friend Jeremy. We pass a children’s bookstore window display. One title catches my eye.
Me: Ha! There was a book in there called Always Lots of Heinies at the Zoo.
Jeremy: What?!
Me: Always Lots of Heinies at the Zoo.
Jeremy: Oh, “heinies.” I thought you said “hymies,” the derogatory word for Jews. I couldn’t believe a children’s books would be called that.
Me: You thought it was a racist series?
Jeremy: Yeah. The previous book was Always Lots of Chinks at the Airport.
