How does The Little Prince relate to racism?

Answer 1

I assume you are referring to the Science-Fiction opus by St.Exuperby dealing with the chance encounter between a French airman and the alien in some desert parts of North Africa (presumaby during WW-2) The Alien hails from Asteroid B-6l2 it is funny but 6-l2 is a popular spray-on pesticide, maybe M. St.Exuperby had a can of this stuff inhhis survival kit! The Alien is white. I don"t think the story in any way relates to racism but possibly tolerance and peace. I have long believed this was the remote progenitor or prototype of ( I Dream of Jeannie) which mroe sensibly had a female character-wpuldn"t that be more like what a downed airman would want? There are a number of similarities. I got the drift that M St.Exuperby might have been a (Homo) by making the alien character (and he was writing for a mixed audience) male instead of say an extraterrestrial Anastasia type- ah the Little missing Princess, that is more like it. I don"t6 like his metaphors, Hallmark card rhapsodies rather than Horsepower and say, Rato boost Onn! Now we are moving! To each his own, I thought the tale had Gay overtones, as do some comic strips (Top Cat, for one)
