Those were real examples of political correctness gone mad.
In 80's Britain, there was some campaign to ban "Baa Baa Black Sheep" because apparently it was racist. Now a lot of people are forced to use other variants like "Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep" or "Baa Baa Pink Sheep". More recently, the Atlanta subway had to change the "yellow line" to golden line because of backlash from the Asian community.
Ok, I understand, now. Political correctness is a very horrible thing in my mind, much like the days when every kid on a team got a "participation" trophy; there were no winners or losers. Boy, that prepares children for the real world, doesn't it? Bunch of fucking shit, all of it.
I think that racism is way to unevenly addressed
