"Advanced DnD" is probably one of the best episodes out there, shame they pulled it.
Also, to echo some other comments here, Community gets plenty of its humour from racism towards black people.
* Pierce thinks Shirley is Troy's mum because they're both black
* Shirley thinks Troy can't swim to which he replies "uh, I can swim, racist"
* Pierce's Halloween story where Troy + Abed play some stereotypical hood characters which Pierce defeats by punching them with his penis.
* Pierce assumes Shirley's ex-husband is a waiter because he's black.
Community also makes fun of other races:
* It implies there's no difference between Chinese and Koreans (Chang goes "Oh, like there's a difference?")
* Pierce's dad wears a wig made out of pure ivory due to wanting to maintain "true follicular purity". Regular wigs are "made from the hair of godless Orientals".
* "Swedish dogs! Your blood is tainted by generations of race-mixing with Laplanders. You're basically Finns".
* Shirley casually says about Arabs: "They're not as understanding as Christians. You could get your head cut off with a salami sword."

Community also has (plenty of) gay jokes. They also make fun of Fat Neil and body shame him to the point of tears. They also have a romantic subplot involving Jeff a 40yo lawyer and Annie an 18yo student. They also constantly make fun of the Dean's sexuality.
Community makes fun of so many minorities and has lots of racy jokes, why is Chang cosplaying a Dark Elf reason to pull an episode?
I mean, I get Netflix are trying to cover their ass, but it seems counterproductive and sends the wrong message.
