Magic The Gathering. The card had its artwork changed for that reason, if memory serves.
Well akschually it's even worse/better?
Because crusade is on the list of cards, banned for being "racist or culturally offensive"
Other cards on this list are:
Invoke Prejudice
Cleanse
Stone-Throwing Devils
Pradesh Gypsies
Jihad
Imprison
This is starting to get ridiculous.
If we were to be true purists to any and every cultural creation, because the author had some bad viewpoint, we'd have to throw out 3/4 of it.
Better to take hold of the creation and subvert whatever subtext the author intended it to have.
p.s
Took a look at the cards and can't see where is the offensive content.
Early magic was a hoot.
