Title: First episode of Pokemon banned in the US since the original series.

Reason: User Banned (Duration Pending): Junior account downplaying the history and impact of racist caricatures

I understand that has been an issue way in the past but can't we as a human race move beyond that? Watching that scene on Youtube, Ash doesn't even act like a monkey. People are way too sensitive, at least in the US.
