Sorry but this really is a step too far in my mind. She has been a favourite of millions of children world wide and I can't remember her ever being racist, can you?
This English Heritage lot need locking up.

Enid B was born in 1897 and lived through the two World wars.
I make this point because, my experience of WW2 (I wasn't around in WW!) is that the Government had a real strategy of Racial Assault on all & Sundry.
It was the thing to do, when I was a kid, as hatred of Germans, Japanese. was a must do & we were not in a position to argue.
The newsreels held very little back.
Comedy programs were, equally, allowed (if not encouraged) to do it.
Then as the influx of immigrants workers got back under way, and the UK workers realised that their jobs might be at risk, it all grew again.
The Unions got on the same horse!
So, I suggest that, before we spend much time fixing the man in the street, we should get the Media & the Government sorted first!
