Dr. Seuss is now "offensive". Can someone who has kids with these books explain why?

My kids are 24 and 19 so I no longer read them bedtime stories, but when they were youngsters they (and I as well) really enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss books to them for bedtime. So apparently now there are hurtful and offensive images and themes in 6 of those books - And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, The Cat's Quizzer, On Beyond Zebra, Scrambled Eggs Super, and McElligot's Pool. I only know "Mulberry Street", and cannot think of what is so offensive about it. Can anyone with kids who read these books explain this, other than telling me what I already know that libs are mentally deranged. Thank you.

Reading Mr. Brown Can Moo to my twins when they were toddlers is one of the best experiences in my life.

I think One Fish Two Fish is prob the GOAT though

I'm more of a Green Eggs and Ham and The Sleep Book kinda guy. My boys loved those books. Reading to them are some of my favorite memories.
