I don't get it.  The only thing about this tune that has any reference to
race is the title.  The lyrics themselves are race-neutral.  Who is injured
by that an in what way?  Have we become such whim-worshippers that we must
'unpack' each word and expunge every implication of racism?

If so, kindly direct me to the way out.
