Should songs with questionable lyrics be banned?

Pinball wizard by The Who contains these lyrics
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
Or Junior's Farm by Paul McCartney
I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
After all Dr Seuss had his book banned for showing an Asian eating rice
I personally feel there was no intention of ill will

@Axeroberts Eskimos are what they are. What do you call them?

@Axeroberts Not in the song. That uses the adjective dumb, correctly (meaning "unable to speak").
