Political correctness beats popular opinion yet again. So no surprises here.

And meanwhile, France still has a blatantly racist anthem...
What's so racist about it?

Feeding the soil with the unpure blood of the enemy perhaps?

Again, what has this to do with race?

Impure blood of the enemy perhaps?

Impure blood is not the same thing as a different race. Accusations of racism are very silly here as all opponents of France where white themselves.

So, since Jews and Slavs were white, Hitler and the Nazis were not racist?

No, but Hitler thought they were. This is not the case here.

Thought they were what? Black? Wanting to slaughter people from other countries because they're less pure is hard not to view as racist, imo. It's not the most racist thing imaginable, but it's still a bit behind the times.
