During a recent episode of ABC’s hit game show, a puzzle with a racist history in the United States was presented as one for contestants to solve. The category was “Rhyme Time,” and the answer was later revealed as “EENIE MEENIE MINY MOE CATCH A TIGER BY THE TOE,” which didn’t sit well with viewers.

While the constant taking of offense grows tiresome, this particular ditty was rather racist. I am old enough to know it was not a tigers toe that was caught.
I give the offended a pass on this one.
can we not change history to be what we want it to be?
