No more performing Othello, either, I guess.

When I was last in Berlin in 1972, there was a subway station named Onkel-Toms-Hütte (Uncle Tom’s Cabin), which was named for a nearby bar and grill that opened in the 1880’s. The name was later given to a housing project built on the site. So far, it seems the name of this station has survived the onslaught of “cancel culture.”

What about Matamoros, Mexico? It means “Killer of Moors”.

And of course, every white person named Mohr, More, Moore, or Moores is a racist. They must all change their names to something less “offensive”.

Matamoras in Pennsylvania is apparently named after Heroica Matamoros, that coming from the US occupying that city first in the Mexican-American War.

Italians must do their part, too. They must remove former PM Aldo Moro's name from every public building, even though he was kidnapped and murdered in 1978 by the Red Brigades Marxist terror group.
And of course they must change every street name and monument dedicated to Ludovico Il Moro ("Ludwig the Dark-Skinned"), former Duke of Milan.

It hasnt been performed since James Earl Jones starred in it.

What a bunch of ignoramuses. Next theyll demand changes to calling the English moors to some other name. It doesnt matter that the term moor comes from the same Proto-Germanic, Old Saxon source as does the word morass.
Pardon me while I figure out where I need to moor my saleboat,

Well, I suppose that the book does portray slave-owners in a bad light, which might be seen as an overgeneralization, but still...

All references to Martin Luther King, Jr. must be erased!
He once said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
This is obviously a ‘Dog Whistle’ for “All Lives Matter”, the infamous White Power rallying cry!
