GT,
I am right there with you again. You have crystallized my thoughts quite well again and I appreciate it. I feel a lot the same way but could never put it into words as well as you have.
If any of you have ever heard of some radio guys named Opie and Anthony they used to talk about this.
WB took all the old Bugs Bunny cartoons and changed some and permanently shelved some others. If there was too much "offensive" material you will now never get to see those cartoons again.
Remember the ones where Bugs made light of Asians? Buck teeth and talking all funny? These were made during WWII as propaganda against our Japanese friends. They were shelved about three years ago and are never aired.
In regards to swastikas, IIRC, they are actually illegal in Germany (and much of the rest of the world if I'm not mistaken.) Funnily, when depicted in movies, the swastika itself is often reverse from what it actually was during Hitler's reign. Now if you want to make them illegal now I guess that's fine, but you should be able to leave them on historical objects.
And since I speak of Hitler, little known fact: His mother was Jewish. A lot of you probably know that, but many don't.
