Is it possible for a car to be racist. Back when this TV show was made there wasn't the controversy over this particular car.
I realise that times have changed but it was good family entertainment in it's day
Sooner or later any item,speech,action,etc can be termed as racist to someone who takes offense and
perceives it to be racist.
That car can't be listed on eBay for example for the same reason that the nazi flag,etc can't be listed as they
have been determined as offensive and racist to some people even though that might not have been the
intention when that flag was put on the car as others believe it's part of history.
Sometimes you see items listed that may be deemed to be offensive and somehow they got through the system
but then the next day they may be gone and a seller sanctioned for listing it.
Others go through and sell so it wasn't picked up,no one reported it or it was simply allowed as as it fitted
into that small criteria of being a "legal" listing.
Also "racist" is often used where there is none simply as a tool to bring discord.
