Why would we change the words to the Wagner operas (if they were anti-semitic, which I'll agree that they aren't)? I think I'd rather keep the hypothetical operas as they are, but educate people about their content and try to balance it with a message that is more open.

As for Stephen Foster, not only was he a racist but his words are too. Really listen to Oh Suzanna! sometime. The whole thing does nothing but mock the speech, both in grammar and in content, of the slaves.
