Political cosmetics

When stories, logotypes or names, which have been known for years, are edited in order to suit contemporary political tastes. Examples include scenes in movies being modified or cut entirely, changes to the language used or replacement of characters.

- Did you hear they've cut the crows of out Disney's Dumbo?
- Sure. I also heard they're removing the black man from the logo on Uncle Ben's products.
- It's very inclusive and progressive. By changing the name of that football team from Washington, we've basically made up, in part, for the treatment that native americans had to endure in the past.
- Not sure that's true. It seems more like political cosmetics due to recent pressure from activists.
