Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!

OK, the news says that 'Gone With The Wind' is being removed from the playlist for HBO Max because it depicted "ethnic and racial prejudices".

I think this is bonkers but what are your suggestions for other films that should be 'removed'?

All films should be banned now, we just don’t know who might be offended so best to play safe.

There is the scene where the Major refers to Indian people as n-----s and w--s. It has been deleted from being shown on tv but it is still on my dvd. Could Basil's treatment of Manuel be classed as racist as he is from Barcelona?
