Book banning is done by governments, schools, libraries.
Target simply not to stock a particular book.
There’s literally millions of books that target does not sell. Are they all “banned” as well?
And those books aren't sold because they are old, not much public interest, not things an average target shopper would buy, not mainstream enough, etc.
But, target also sells a whole lot of stuff online that they don't have room for in stores. According their website 400,000 books can be bought online. So there is no reason it can't be sold online.
But target said they won't sell it because it might offend some people with the title. So that effectively means they banned the book.
You seem to be doing mental gymnastics to make it sound like only the government can ban something, or a school or a library.
I mean they sell a lot of offensive books.
This one literally tells you in the title it's offensive
