Recent repeat of classic BBC Comedy Fawlty Towers was censored by BBC. If it was OK when it was first shown why can't we see it now? Yes there were racist terms used but that's what people aid then. No malice was intended it was just a name. Surely offence is caused by how the "name" is used? Any word can be used in an offensive manner if you choose to use it.
Classic is Guy Gibson, his dog was called Nigger. He was a black labrador. Can I say "black" labrador or is that offensive to the dog? Has the dog taken offence is he upset? Actually he's dead now. so doesn't care. In the remake of the Dambusters film they want to rename his dog! so as not to be offensive.
Its all stupid, Isn't it?
