The cause was a worthy one but I believe it's going too far now.
There is talk of the Fawlty Towers episode "Don't mention the war" being banned. Gavin and Stacey series for mentioning Chinese Alan and Seth the black fella along with fat shaming.
Where will it end? Remember all those years ago when petitions were raised to try and get the singing of Baa Baa Black Sheep removed from Nursery schools, the rhyme written in the 1700's had nothing to do with race. The celebrating of Xmas was stopped in some schools due to it possibly being offensive to Muslims.
Two well known series, Love Thy Neighbour and Till Death Do Us Part were depicted as being racist. They actually portrayed the ignorance of those who are racist, Alf and Eddie were nearly always proved to be in the wrong.
May as well ban all tv lest someone get's upset and we all go for long walks instead. But then, I have a reasonable tan. Should I stay indoors for fear that some may think I'm trying to impersonate a person of colour? There is already talk against people of colour using creams to lighten their skin ffs and we have Celebrities apologising left,right and centre for comedy sketches they did years ago.
When did this Country get so stupid?
I have every sympathy for the family of George Floyd. But for people to protest worldwide in the middle of a pandemic is fooking stupid to say the least. Isn't the slogan not racial in itself? Replace the word "Black" with "All" and you are deemed as being ignorant towards the cause. Replace it with "White" and there would be outrage. I asked earlier "Where will it end?" I think I already know the answer to that.
