This story includes a photograph of the "Wild West" display which some readers may find offensive
Mr Perry will work with the council on a "better" display for 2023 which will celebrate Native American culture.The "Wild West" panel, situated on Queen's Promenade, dates from the 1960s and has been a regular feature of the resort's famous annual lights show..Mr Perry, who is an NHS analyst and an author of historical fiction, said the move to retire the display showed "people power".
I suppose it'll be Whitepool next...
It's all a crock of crap,I wish they would shut up,if you don't like it here sod off
1-2 people complain about 'racially insensitive' display. Fails to explain how it's 'racially insensitive' in any manner. Gets removed anyway.
There since the 1960s? Geeez....Just shows how far back in the past we seem to be when it comes to xenophobia, bias and stereotypes. 🥴🥴
'Blackpool has connotations of racism. Let's re-imagine a new name.
Suppose it goes back to the figures on the marmalade. It's that sort of thing.
For goodness sake they are lights not a racist statement!
Funny how we seem to offend the world but still come here. also stating we don't give them rights they never had and come here to demand them. Stay away if you don't like the place. simple.
Bubble wrap yourselves, cover your children's ears. World's gone mad.
Woke
What a joke country we really are now
'We are looking to produce a new design that will celebrate indigenous culture' Why the fuck does Blackpool need to celebrate Native American Indigenous Culture? 'cowboys and injuns' aren't as exciting as they used to be so just bin it and put something up celebrating Britain.
Fuck sake what next
The chief spearheading this campaign has a reservation to meet with the council 🤦🏻♂️
Let’s just agree that everyone and everything is racist and have done with it! 🙄
Don't they ever stop those crap
What bellend brought the complaint forward.
Ridiculous
The Woke in England
Can't have anything these days without some fucker being offended, or its racist.

Good. Racism has no place here. I’m so progressive.
every thing we love is racist to some ,they want it all changed to suit them
What a load of rubbish!!! The racist word is used to often and doesn’t mean anything
Interested to find out how many people actually complained about this and found it “racist”

Meanwhile over at the BBC:
This shit has 2 stop for fks sake
FFS
No idea what shocks other than people complaining
Utter and complete gibberish nonsense.
World is f..ked hurry up Russia 🇷🇺
I had to check this isn't 1st April. This country is going down the pan, not just politically. Pandering to a load of attention seekers and the professionally offended.
Everything is racist unless it's directed at White people
How illuminating
At last it’s now safe to visit again
The world is going mad in a hand cart
The word island conjures up images of nationalism which is racist. Can they please remove the 'Island' bit from that photo. Thanks. Now what else they got?.. er....
i'd rather be speaking German at this point
There are plenty of bulbs of colour on display
Good grief. Just don't illuminate anything then.
Destroying history , I remember that illumination from my childhood ,
