I had those Noddy books, the Golliwogs creeped me out. I loved TinTin, I was heartbroken when I went to the library and realized I had read all of them and there were no more to come.
There aren't many good stories without bad guys, the Bible is filled with them - sometimes a different ethnic group and culture are bad and their practices are strange to us.
Those books were written for European and American children. Hating and marginalizing others helps build self esteem - a kid who doesn't measure up in the white world can always find consolation in that at least he's white.
