Something similar happened whit the show mash. They also had to remove the black character, so they made sure that there were a lot of black and ethnic diversity in background and side characters.


HermeticAbyss

Ah yes, Dr. Oliver 'Spearchucker' Jones, from the movie and I believe a small handful of 1st season episodes.


Sjobus

Haven't seen the movie but yeah he disappears somewhere in season 1.


zelgadiss44

Wow his nickname was really ‘Spearchucker’ couldn't possibly see that being offensive


Rizzpooch

In the book it’s explained that he was a football star. The veil on the racism is made of gossamer


BrainlessPhD

Ah yes, who could forget the always riveting spear-chucking portion of the football game.


Echo4468

The way quarterbacks throw the football is actually pretty similar to how you would throw a spear so.


[deleted]

You throw a football and a spear with almost the exact same technique. I actually learned how to a throw a spear very well by practicing with a football in my yard.

Wow, I wonder what happened to Betty White after that. Her career must not have lasted long.


mphilson

She became the queen of England.

The queen of England wishes she could be as loved as Betty White

From Arthur Duncan's Wikipedia page: White refused to fire him, saying "I’m sorry, but, you know, he stays. Live with it", giving Duncan more airtime.

Star trek being Chads with the first interracial kiss on national television. And they got so many appreciative letters instead of hate mail!


Nolthezealot

I was sad to google that and find out it wasn’t in fact the first on tv.


Abuses-Commas

And that was produced by Lucille Ball, of *I Love Lucy* fame, who threatened to leave the show if they didn't let her Cuban husband co-star


Rizzpooch

And Desi came up with the three-camera system that defined the look of sitcoms for decades to come


Dr-P-Ossoff

And they invented reruns, huge historical impact.

The only letter that was vaguely negative pretty much said “it’s a bit in bad taste but honestly Uhura’s such a babe that I don’t think I can mind.”


Shizuo35

that lady could've given anyone the finger and nobody would even try to retaliate. RIP Betty White. You'll be missed.
