Not sure I get taking every ep with blackface down. Why not put a disclaimer on them instead?

"On further reflection the creators of this program realize they were being insensitive assholes"

I'd rather have an archive of the mistake and apology than erasure that it happened
I want the world to KNOW that the creators of How I Met Your Mother, in the 2010s, thought that a yellowface episode was OK. If they've rethought that decision, I want the world to know that too.
As @HayesBrown pointed out to me, old Looney Tunes episodes have disclaimers. Not suggesting the same language be applied to blackface eps of modern times, but a version of this just feels slightly more honest.
