Let me preface by saying that I neither read the books or watched the tv show when I was a kid. It wasn't something I shared with my mother or discovered as a seven year old at the library, so I have absolutely no nostalgia over the Little House series. As such, I take great issue with the blatant racism, from Ma's "The only good Indian is a dead Indian" to the black doctor who thinks malaria is caused by watermelons. These books are very problematic, even before you get into the issue of Rose Wilder Lane helping her mother with the writing and likely influencing the story with her libertarian views to make the Ingalls come across even more as pulled up by our bootstraps types. I am sorry, but I really do not care for Little House at all.
