[@johnnastrom9400]

Xifihas It is more about classism than racism. The scammer in this movie represents the fashion industry, the luxury car industry, or the industry that promotes whatever is the trend of the day. One the trendy items are purchased by the "uncool" crowd (starless bellied people), they are no longer trendy and the snobs (star bellied people) want something new that sets them apart of the other crowd.

[@cityman2312]

Park Island and Napier Hill cemeteries will follow. While these records are still to be audited and loaded onto the database, the public can still access the information held by the Council. Information being collated includes aerial photos of burial sites, cemetery records, photos of headstones and data sourced from funeral directors and monumental services. This information is being made available as a permanent record on the Council website, providing a valuable database and a resource for genealogical research. Unfortunately, no Council records exist for the years 1857-1895 as this information was destroyed in the 1931 earthquake.

Presumably because they and their families have been marginalized from the rest of sneetch society for so long that they lack the generational resources to access marshmallows and hot dogs. I'd imagine the star-bellied supremacist society also did things like ghettoize the starless, demolish their homes under auspices of eminent domain to build sprawling, inefficient suburbs, police their neighborhoods with sneetches who knew there would be no consequences if they should happen to be extraordinarily violent, and systematically deny the starless access to every resource they could. Just as an example.

To me it seems more about classism. Racial categories less easily shifted, but status symbols can change again and again like belly-stars, or white and colorful fabric, or grammar rules.

The plain belly sneetches were raised to be attentive to the opinions of others (as opposed to star bellies, raised to look down on others), and therefore genuinely believed they were the "worst sneetches". Therefore, even if they had their own parties, they believed it would be nothing like the amazing parties that the "best sneetches" had, and figured they shouldn't even bother. The plain bellies don't want to have parties with the "worst" group - they want to have parties with the "best" group.

That’s part of what has led to America’s downfall in the 21st century. As long as the American public was getting what they wanted when they wanted it, they didn’t care who sold it to them or who’s pockets they were lining i with money. In essence, we ended up funding our own destruction.

[@spy4863]

For years I always wondered why the Plain Bellies didn't host their own fancy parties and games and sporting events-then it suddenly dawned on me-they couldn't because they didn't have the money! The Star Bellies had the cash so they could host all these fancy parties and social events. While Dr. Seuss doesn't actually say that the Star Bellies had cash and the Plain Bellies didn't he hints at it-McBean charges the Star Bellies $10.00 a piece to have their stars removed whereas he charges the Plain Bellies only $3.00 a piece to have stars put on their bellies. The Star Bellies gave more money than the Plain Bellies, therefore they get charged more for their procedure! Great story about class division, class discrimination, and prejudice based on class! Just as relevant today as it was back in the 1850's!!

This has to be my second favorite Dr. Suess story. You just cannot compete with The Butter Battle Book.

[@bryandenis2549]

Is that the one that Netflix made a show?

[@psyxypher3881]

@@bryandenis2549 I have no clue but I hope not. The Butter Battle Book is a story about the cold war and mutually assured destruction, as well as the arms race. The name comes from why the two sides are fighting; one side puts butter on top of their toast, the other puts it on the bottom. Dr. Suess put his on the sides.

[@bryandenis2549]

@@psyxypher3881 Yeah Netflix did a series based on that but they made it VERY kid friendly, it's a sequel to a storyline based off of Green Eggs and Ham and a pretty fun watch if you have the time

[@Modtro64]

The Butter Battle was actually the basis for the 2nd Season of Green Eggs & Ham. While the 1st Season focused on the Book of the same name. The 2nd Season actually bases the plot on the Butter Battle, all while have a Secret Agent theme, and style. It was actually well made and the animation is gorgeous. If you get the chance to watch I highly recommend it.

[@GoldKitsuneBrony]

One thing that confused me is that there is no apparent reason the plain bellied Sneetches can't throw their own 'Plain bellied only' parties. They have money, marshmallows and franks aren't expensive, and it seems there are comparable amount of either. Perhaps the the thing that the star bellied Sneetches had was competence. They had parties because they threw parties, they had fun and good fortune because they went and did it while the plain bellies were busy 'moping around on the beaches'

[@jeniferjoseph9200]

Well, it was interesting that McBean asked for $3.00 eaches of the Plain bellied, and $10.00 eaches of the Star Bellied. Maybe there was an implication in that that the Plain Bellied just didn't have as much money?

[@evancook4746]

Jenifer Joseph there is a clear flaw with your argument. namely that the they the would have have the same amount of many as both groups ran out of money at the same time give or take. also the price to add or remove did not change. if one group had more or less in the beginning then either that group would have stopped at a different point or the prices would have had to be adjusted based on which group they originally belonged to.

[@jeniferjoseph9200]

True, true. Ah, the Dr. Seuss fan theories. Those are always fun!

[@Frank7489]

what the star bellied had, that the plain bellies didn't, was favorable treatment by 100% of sneetches.

This just shows how an expected "fashion" or "looks" is so silly. People pay big money to change how they look to "fit in". Plastic surgery, implants, clothing. Nothing wrong with dressing up or wearing costumes when it's just for fun. Especially just to show one's individuality. But when it's to fit in to a certain expected look, that is where the fashion industry wins and everyone loses.
