I know next to nothing about Suess’ personal life so I may be totally off, but I also watched some people I would have never considered racist become incredibly racist towards arabs after 9/11. Without knowing any further details, that last panel reeks of “common” post-pearl harbor sentiment.

I grew up for a while in the south.
In the south you aren’t racist unless you act on it.
After 9/11 they felt they had permission to act on it, just like Trump gave them permission again.
But if they feel those things and talk about them amongst themselves, it doesn’t count.
