Huh? The whole joke with Chang going as a dark elf was that it was blackface and it made Shirley uncomfortable. I don't think it should've been removed because Chang was the punchline and not black people, but it was definitely about blackface. (I've also not heard anyone complain about that joke)

Remember when references substituted for humor? I think the same thing happened for moralness or something. The symbol became accepted as being as real as the actual thing. Which is completely psychotic of course.
