It depends on which side of the line you stand. If a stereotype caused harm to a person or a group, they have a right to be aggrieved about it. You asking to “simply forget” and invalidating their situation by calling it “ridiculous” may not be the best possible option to take.

I never asked that. Quite the opposite. I think the show is great and shouldn't be banned as it is in many places. It's the people who call it racist that are banning it as if somehow that will make the world less racist? Or it'll make history less racist? Or why do they want to ban it? In that case we need to start banning all the shows of that era because they are literally all racist. Why single this cartoon out when there are much worse examples? So where is this line to be drawn? Because this seems arbitrary. Let's ban some things that are racist but not others.

Is it? Where?
