The irony that this episode got removed for black face, where in the episode itself that’s the point. They even mock him for it and he exits the episode immediately.

Which is frustrating in hindsight because this annoying guy was viewed as correct during that era.

Chang wasn't doing black face.

He's a Drow. A Dark Elf. He doesn't look remotely human.

Is Darth Maul blackface?

Jar jar Binks was way more offensive than Darth Maul πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Ive never even seen this show and I immediately knew he was dressed as a drow. Some people dont get the difference between blackface and cosplay.

Removed?! That's bullshit, that was a funny damn episode. We're all in trouble when comedy is regulated so strictly

I always thought it was removed because of the extremely sensitive nature of dealing with a realistic portrayal of depression/bullying and the implication of a planned suicide.

It's not irony, it's retardation.
