Should we be removing TV show episodes and movies from streaming services because they may be perceived as offensive?

Either because they were racist ironically (as a form of satire) or because they are from a different time when racist tropes were more acceptable.

Notice I am not asking "is it allowed?" I am aware that streaming services can remove what they want. I'm asking [i]should[/i] they?

If we erase our previous culture, and erase our history, we are simply doomed to repeat it.

I noticed that Comcast/Xfinity has an enormous repertoire of old cowboy movies, which are very racist.

I watched one last week with Barbara Stanwyck...Trooper Hooker or Hooper or something like that...and it amazes me...really amazes me...that these hypocritical billionaires like Jeff Zucker are perfectly willing to run that stuff constantly as "free" movies, and then go over to suck up to their Chinese communist masters and build their theme parks in Beijing, and fund Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
