The classic story The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss weaves the fable of critters whose opportunities and social status was determined by appearance. The Sneetches, written in 1953, has many undertones of opposition to anti-Semitism, along with opposition to racial and religious bigotry in general. The story of The Sneetches is about yellow, bird-like creatures, with some who have green stars on their stomachs, and others without.
