What are people thoughts on this. Telling kids to sing baa baa rainbow sheep instead of baa baa black sheep? Is this going to far.

To me i havent seen a rainbow sheep but i have seen a black sheep!

yes it is, but it's been slowly happening for a few years now.......not sure where it will end, if it were racist I would understand, but FFS a nursery rhyme about a black sheep is not racist, it is a natural colour of sheep's wool, as is brown or white!

Actually, it's a song about slavery (or something along those lines), but how would little kiddies know that... :lol:

Did they change it to rainbow to appease our indigenous community? Weren't there rainbow sheep running around everywhere back in the dreamtime?

PS: above comments meant with no malice - just shows the increasing stupidity of do-gooders nowdays

They're not do-gooders, they're just silly.

I totally agree with the name change. I also suggest the following:

Snow Rainbow and the Seven Dwarves.
Little Boy Rainbow.
Little Rainbow Riding Hood.

It's almost as bad a cookie monster no longer smashing cookies because they're a "sometimes food"

SHit, I'm surprised they haven't changed his name to "sunflower seed monster"

its not just this tho i heard on the radio a few months ago about video stores moving movies like Terminator 2 (one of many movies) to a nudity or soft porn section of the store as muslims didnt like seeing arnie in the nude because of complaints. Remember at the start of T2 Arnie walks into a bar in the nud beating up bikies.

Yeah it was all the muslim's fault, sure those hard right christian lobbyists had nothing to do with putting arnie's junk somewhere else.
