Totally... And another type of censoring which I hate. "Airbrushing" out the bits of history that are not seen as compatible with our modern times. While I understand the offensiveness of such racial terms nowadays (as well as a slew of others), scissoring out the bits we don't like will only lead to historical inaccuracies.
It's good to be able to compare how things were and are now. How we've evolved and times have changed.
Great points, my friend. :)
