Odd reference to the CBS And NBC networks[edit]

In the section referring to the original Racial Lyrics, and their later amendment,the current text appears to still describe Cole Porter making the change, while an anonymous edit replaces the string "Cole Porter" with text pointing to the CBS and NBC broadcasting networks and their Wikipedia pages.

I cannot myself check the cited reference for the change to the lyrics, but the anonymous change to this page feels bogus. 82.152.195.45 (talk) 16:57, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, this section is poorly worded, vague (missing year of rewrite) and cites a book that contains a one line citation of another book. Neither CBS nor NBC are mentioned in either citation.

In Philip H. Herbst's 1997 work "The Color of Words: An Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Ethnic Bias in the United States" ISBN 978-1877864421, he references Eugene Chen Eoyang's 1995 work "Coat of Many Colors: Reflections On Diversity By a Minority of One" ISBN 978-0807004203.

Eoyang's work contains a brief first hand account of "discovering" that the lyrics had been rewritten and asserts without citation or detail, "Fortunately, Porter changed these lines when he thought that they might prove offensive."

The details of the rewrite are now legally and culturally significant with the release of the original, but not the rewritten, lyrics into the public domain as of 1/1/2024. Ascribing uncited process and motivation provide questionable value. Gmcanally (talk) 21:58, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
