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...
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

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.
