It's a contentious issue, and a bit of an inflammatory comic. I'm not surprised they pulled it.

Imagine it was about abortion or gun control.

What's the point of republishing Dilbert if you're going to censor what you don't like? Nobody forced them to publish Dilbert, it was a choice they made. Is it okay for Amazon to redact portions of books that are contentious?

Furthermore, the date on the comic was apparently edited to hide what had been done. If you don't want to publish something because it's contentious, then IMO have the balls to state as much and simply don't publish anything - don't pretend the comic doesn't exist.

It's a contentious issue amoung ignorant biggots - imagine if it was about the sphericality of the Earth or evolution.
