I didn't downvote you, but the office was very much censored and there were articles about it[1]. The same article discusses Community having one of its best episodes ever yanked over black face that was explicitly explained in the episode. People have lost their collective minds.

People have lost their individual minds. The collective mind prevails.

Yeah, as another comment mentioned I was specifically referring to the UK Office. I've seen the first couple of seasons of the US Office and so not enough to really comment on this particular scene being removed.

However, they are vastly different shows tonally and so I imagine a scene featuring black face would be handled very differently by the US version

That article references the American Office. The above comment references the British Office.

People have lost their minds, because they don't want to see blackface, even in an ironic context? I wish you wouldn't say those things, because I feel the same way, I really don't want to see it, and I don't find it funny or worth seeing in any context. Please don't assume that everyone likes the same jokes that you do.
