That is not happening in Canada and I would be surprised if it is happening in the US. If such material slipped through the cracks it can be removed.

If this was pointed out to a librarian it would be removed. Or am I wrong?

I don't have access to a web browser presently, but do a search for "list of banned books".

Bring up China as you need. China is a deeply racist country. China's racism is a reality, not much to be done about it. I dunno, but I don't think China wants to talk about it, or much of anything at all.
