Might as well remove the Beetle from the game, since we all know how the Beetle was created. Or remove the Auto Union and Mercedes, whose sporting successes were sponsored by... well, you know.
I agree. It's a bit of a stretch to ban the use on a livery of one of the most famous TV cars of all time. If it was being used with actual racial intent, to try and generate hate, or incite fear or intentionally offend someone I could see an argument for it. Now people actually being able to determine intent is like people having common sense in this day and age, very few and far between.
Are we going to remove all Ford vehicles from the game because Henry Ford was a huge backer of a certain leader in 1930's and 1940's Germany?
Are we going to remove all vehicles in the game that use parts manufactured by Bosch (from lights and filters, right on through to injectors) because they had a hand in the construction of the gas chambers at the concentration camps? They also used slave labour to build these and other products around that time.
Is use of the United Kingdom flag going to be banned from use on the likes of the Mini's? A few of them now incorporate this design into the rear lights of the car. The flags inside of this, and the flag itself surely was flown at the events of numerous atrocities, some even including slavery over the years.
The Italian flag in many racing liveries? The country committed multiple atrocities as well during the wars.
The American flag, the Willy's Jeep, the Hummers, etc etc. I could go on.
I could come up with a lot more examples but these are a few right off the top of my head.
