The Cricket in Times Square: This book contains racial stereotyping against Chinese Americans. In the book, the author portrayed Chinese could not pronounce the letter “r” properly. “Very” was pronounced as “vely”, “truth” was pronounced as “tluth”, “cricket” was pronounced as “clicket”, etc. Chinese food was described as “funny”.
