ok so they backed down, this time. but how many other landmark historical documents could be called out for not conforming to today's sensibilities?

[Canary42]

The Holy Bible for starters.

[EDDIE51]

How could it NOT be racist? When it was written the ONLY Negros in North America were slaves, who were regarded as sub-human.

LOL...you no expert on what is and isn't racist EDDIE.

^insert 'are'

[jim360]

I mean, the thing is, it *is* racist, but clearly it shouldn't be censored either.

[Baldric]

A nice bit of VS there Eddie.

True that is.

[ToraToraTora]

perlease!

[naomi24]

Don't forget the Koran, Canary.

Utterly pathetic.

[woofgang]

well the Magna Carta wasn't written for the peasants.

[Peter Pedant]

Magna Carta

honestly mushie I am amazed you are trivialising your education
you know that historical documents should be viewed in the setting of their own time

and something like los leyes de Guillaume
( yup the laws of william the conqueror ) may have no real meaning as parliament at that time wasnt a law giver....

There will be more of this to come without a doubt.

Looks like AI is not as advanced as some may claim!

[ichkeria]

... says Donald Trump?

[ichkeria]

Perhaps if Twitter does the same exercise the Trumpster might boycott it

[youngmafbog]

Trump? Are you really that obsessed with the man?

[ichkeria]

163 replies and counting to kromo’s shock revelation about a bit of inflatable orange plastic, so I guess we all just lurv to talk about him

[youngmafbog]

That just seems to be a couple of people obsessed with Trump and a couple attempting to explain why it is a futile childish thing to do that will achieve nothing except for embarrassment to our Nation.

And nothing to do with this thread.

[Old_Geezer]

Is it doing any worse than a human given explicit instructions ? It's more than it's job's worth making exceptions.

Who mentioned Negros, this was about "merciless Indian savages" i.e. Native Americans.

Your Answer...I know a golf club that in 1936 passed a rule that no member of the Jewish faith would be admitted for membership. As far as I know, that rule was never revoked. But they were turbulent and bigoted times, wern't they?
