This happened last June, troll. Go away.

Here we go again. Erasing the past doesn't make it go away. All that is needed is a disclaimer before the particular episode airs.

Enough of this cancelling everything from the past.

Eventually we will erase all references to BLM and LGBTQXYZ as well.

Everything you trolls are saying was already said eight months ago when this happened, so move it along, toots.

[quote]The original broadcast included a scene in which Major Gowen, a regular guest at the hotel, uses very strong racist language in relation to an anecdote about the West Indies cricket team.

Uh, ya. These need to go. Just because it's "history" doesn't mean it's acceptable anymore, just like beating one's wife

Then maybe we should erase movies like "Django Unchained" as well, R5, since they depict racists too.
