Misguided Social Justice Warriors again in the news

The circus knife throwing set is another classic, and no, I can't see a modern anglophone company doing something like this. I like that kind of quirky.
Could playmobil today though produce such a set? I'm not sure, the reason they don't make metal parts is apparently due to safety laws.
They did get similar press when the bank set came out, complete with blonde bank robber.

Well its a part of Playmobil that I would never change.

It is a very educational toy both about history and about real life with the modern themes.

Airport security set is actually a very good way to help kids understand it, teaching them about it through play.

Confederate soldiers may also help to explain history. I'd imagine many kids might just as well have them be friends with black clickies, or use them as the villains.

The NAACP has demanded that all of these "racist" Playmobil sets should be removed immediately.

It gets more ridiculous by the day. Soon they´ll be demanding a lunar eclipse (black moon) every other night, otherwise they´ll feel discriminated.
The 5135 ships will disappear soon enough, the set is already discontinued in Germany and the Benelux as it is being replaced by the new one without a cabin. I assume a future one will now also lack a slave dungeon ehrr cargo hold.
