And I repeat, I was not offended by the imagery and wouldn't have cared if they kept it in. Had they left it in the game I would have shrugged and moved on because I see both sides of the argument (Keeping the homage to the original vs removing offensive stereotypes). However, I do feel they made the right decision and I do not see or understand how you could be so angry about this. All I'm seeing everywhere is about how 'PC Police win again' or 'SJWs ruining another videogame'. 

Wow. 

You don't get to say that it's not offensive at the same time you call it an offensive stereotype.  Also, it's not a stereotype.

I most certainly do. It appears you do not understand the difference in 'being offended' and 'finding something offensive'. Things like this are inappropriate given the modern climate and have no real reason to be perpetuated. I'm not personally upset by the idea of Game and Watch being portrayed with a feather in his head because I can see both sides of the argument. However, being upset about Nintendo's decision is just pathetic. They're a family friendly corporation who see no benefit to keeping a racist caricature in their game. simple as that. If you can't see that then I can't help you.
