The episode was also omitted from the streaming service Disney+.[51] The Slate journalist Isaac Butler criticized the removal as "an offense against art and the medium of television, and part of a growing trend of corporations using their consolidated power and the death of physical media to do damage control by destroying works by troublesome artists".

Essentially corporate censorship for fear of maybe offending someone.

They do this with sunny, a bunch of sunny episodes are gone because of racial stuff, one including where Dee pretends to be Puerto Rican. As a Latino I found that episode hilarious and im more offended that they removed it.

If they removed the Simpsons Michael Jackson episode, they’ll probably delete the Sunny episodes with P Diddy

Also, Community, which is especially absurd in the case of the episode where Chang dons black facepaint to play... a dark elf. Guess it was thought that any real dark elf viewers could be offended.
