Last night on Australian tv, they had a segment about changes made to classic nursery rhymes like.... Baa baa black sheep has now been changed to baa baa RAINBOW sheep because it may be considered as racist against black people. They have also changed the name of fairy penguins to LITTLE penguins as they may be offensive towards the gay community!!! They had actors from childrens shows on the program giving their opinion on the changes and they were all astonished by what has happened. Children at that age see a black sheep as a black sheep, not as anything else... so why the sudden changes to particular things that have been around for centuries!!!

its retarted... i dont mean to offend anyone here... but this is my opinion.\n\nfirst of all... i think its ok to say black sheep on tv. if people interpret it differently thats they own dam luck... they shouldnt watch the dam show.\n\nsecond of all... tv censorship is getting out of control... children hear stuff on  the streets and at home (faul language). there is no need to censor certain words.\n\npeople change things because they are afraid of getting sued or something like that. racism or anything should not be the answer to everything. otherwise i could walk down the road and see a sign in a shop that says "sizzling sausages on sale here". i could interpret it as sexual.\n\nin the longrun its all bullshit. unless its something real not like a black sheap, it should be left alone. i mean come on, get real !

I disagree with the person that said move to Europe, I mean racism is everywhere no matter what country no matter what ethnicity. Yes us black folks get it thrown in our face everyday but F*** em' life goes on you know, "what they eat don't make us sh**. like jay z said, ain't no love in the heart of the city, ain't no love in the heart of town"  Did you know in the history of television, in europe 2 weeks ago, a news station hired a black broadcaster. Now how long has the tv been around. We may have a few more oppurtinities, but not much. Just do what we all do, keep ya head up and try to maintain, Like Donny Hathaway says " Take it from me someday we'll ALL be FREE!"

Your questions aren't stupid. However: expecting us not to notice the startling similarity between  FlOridAbAbYYYyyYYyyy and ILoVeyOUUiNNpINKK and LAgUANaBEAchBABYyyYY is pretty stupid, don't you agree?

I do think it will be the same type of thing.  Don't know if it will be the same.  It is kind of interesting how they are introducing it.  It starts with pets.  Soon it will be children.  They will make everyone think it is a good thing.

I have two mixed children, and we've come to find a lot more prejudice in white people than in black, therefore, my children tend to hang around more black than white people.  I have tried to teach them not to see color, but I know they notice that white people are the only ones who attempt to insult them by calling them niggers and half-breeds.

Becouse people who are anti-gay seem to flock to the gay arias of the internet and take offence, they have turned the section into a gay-bashing section where real questions are lost to stupid comments and offensive mitarial.\n\nThese same peopel either report you as abuse, or take offence and psot so many reported answers that Yahoo is forced to delete the question.\n\nIf this aria was set up like any other, the subject matter would reflect discussion, an opertunity to explore the issues of the gay community, and not stupid questions and un-related topics.\n\nThis is gotten away with becouse of the negitive outlook of the gay community in general, and the lack of seriousness in that feild.

Thats so nice of you to teach your children right. First of all you need to tell them for ALL of those question they need to know not all black people are like that. Just the "ghetto" ones I suppose. Iam certainly not like that neither are my family memebers. I don't even like chicken! Some black people use the N word because they are idiots and ignorant, I would never say the N word to me it is hurtful no matter who it comes from. I suggest you just tell your children that is just how some black people are...

i think they do have a right to complain if it contains offencive language. what i don't agree with is sending people home for wearing crosses or getting rid of black jelly babies or my nephew having to sing "bar bar rainbow sheep" at nursery! PC gone mad!!

In the UK there has just been a Black History Month on TV .... Imagine the uproar if they held a dedicated White History Month.\n\nIt's political correctness gone mad

According to the Yahoo blog, this has happened. Some bad person just reported it & they had to delete it for the time being. They are working on ways to stop it and have apologised to those it has happened to. I think this has become a little more popular than they thought. Anyway, \nstay patient & if you didn't do anything wrong do not let someone else's narrow opinion upset you!

I so agree with you. I don't know if it's because they are geographically placed away from the world (and so close to Asia) that's made them that way or that they need more black migrants and another generation to open their minds up. What's funny is how you'll *never* hear an Australian calling the Aboriginals Native Australians when that should be the actual term. Before any Australian gets defensive again I'd say go travel first.
