They do this with sunny, a bunch of sunny episodes are gone because of racial stuff, one including where Dee pretends to be Puerto Rican. As a Latino I found that episode hilarious and im more offended that they removed it.

If they removed the Simpsons Michael Jackson episode, they’ll probably delete the Sunny episodes with P Diddy

Also, Community, which is especially absurd in the case of the episode where Chang dons black facepaint to play... a dark elf. Guess it was thought that any real dark elf viewers could be offended.

My real annoyance with that is Chang was on screen for maybe a minute or 2 totally time in the paint. Couldn't they just show a different characters face or have up a black screen with the audio or something. I'm sure it's harder than what I'm thinking but it can't be impossible. I just like this episode. I had to find it elsewhere when I was rewatching community.

Wasn't the joke that Chang was in fact doing blackface, and everyone else scolds him for it? (this doesn't make it good to remove, just changes the context)

also dies immediately and has no bearing on the episode.

That episode was officially restored in the US when the show went to Peacock.
