CMV: Community's Season 2 D&D Episode should not have been removed from Netflix

I had recently rewatching community after getting my wife into it and just discovered that they pulled S2 D&D episode because Chang was wear black make-up to role-play as a dark elf. 

This should not have happened, I totally stand by equal rights to all but removing an episode because some one could have mistakenly taken another person's outfit for racism is too far on the racial change pendulum. 

Now mind you I've seen the episode a few years ago so I'm working this point off memory. But I do intend on finding and watching this episode again.

Role playing games are supposed to give us a chance to escape from the everyday of inequality and hardships of life. I personally love the feeling of getting away from the chaos of life and playing a good game of D&D.

Is society trying to tell me that shouldn't even consider playing as a dark elf character?

The entire point of the outfit was to show how much effort he put into getting ready and how quickly he died.

As far as memory serves his entire scene isn't about race or racial hate/inequality in the least.

Are we trying to say that people shouldn't cos-play towards anything even closely resembling anything real world racial? 

The implications seem to be just taking society way too far towards non-progressiveness.

I am honestly looking for a good and reasonable discussion on this. I support black lives and I've always grown up being told to treat everyone equally but this to me seems ridiculous.

Community was one of many mid-2000s shows that told racist, homophobic jokes, etc. They way they did this was to have one character tell a racist joke. Then have another character comment about how the joke was racist. That way they get to have their cake and eat it too. They get laughs from racist audience members, and laughs from the non-racist ones too. The problem is that so many shows did it that people caught on and don't think it's funny anymore. That's the reason Dave Chappelle gave for leaving Chappelle's Show (though in retrospect it seems more related to a contract dispute than anything else).
