I've been reviewing children's books about Pesakh for the last few weeks- exact same issue. Jews are white, Egyptians are dark, with slanty eyes. Maybe they don't quite qualify as looking like stereotypes of Jews, but they certainly play the "Jews, white, good; Other, dark, bad" card. Ugh. It's foul.
