Did you know that the tentative title for the Power Puff Girls was "The Whup Ass Girls?" Changed of course.
I keep hearing the argument for Huckleberry Finn to be taken out of schools and libraries because people say it's racist. Apparently they have no clue that it's about a white kid putting his ass on the line to smuggle his black, slave friend to freedom. Oh yeah just because the dreaded "N" word is said regularly a story of friendship and affirmation must be evil. :roll: People like to conveniently forget that that's how people talked back then, you have to look at it in context. Let it go you PC bastards.
On the other hand there was this Bugs Bunny cartoon where some characters appeared in "black-face" at the end, now that is racist and it is justifiable that it be taken off the air but Speedy Gonzales? Okay, I can see that the Sleepy Gozales character could be offensive since it ties to a stereotype but his name was Sleepy, it wasn't just something he did because he was from Mexico. You don't see people bitching tat the Disney Snow White was evil because of Sleepy the Dwarf.
