Netflix & Hulu Pull Episode Of ‘Community’ Due To Blackface Scene

from their streaming services due to a scene that contains blackface, sources tell Deadline.

In the “Advanced Dungeons & Dragons” episode, the Ben Chang character, played by Ken Jeong, shows up to a Dungeons & Dragons game wearing black make-up and a white wig. Shirley, played by Yvette Nicole Brown, says to Chang, “So, we’re just going to ignore that hate crime, huh?”, to which Chang responds, “I’m a dark elf or a drow.” Chang continues to play the game as the character, Brutalitops the Magician, until he is killed and eliminated.

What about John Wayne playing Genghis Kahn, Mickey Rooney and Tilda Swinton playing asian roles. Are the studios gonna pull that too?

netflix you suck

Such a stupid decision

Can't they put a disclaimer? Why pull and endorse censorship?

They pulled one of the best episodes!
