No, but that doesn't mean all other cards should be invalidated if they've been accepted for years.
Reason like:
Shouldn't be entertained, soon we'll just have to blacklist all IDs of 1488, let's hope MS SQL and MariaDB come out with patches to handle it for all the devs that have to deal with SJW scenarios.
Good. We don't need female wizards demanding their Equal Rites.

Try again. 'Coast' is also a problem. Its geographic profiling and locationist. It discriminates against those not near or of 'the coast'

You can't be serious. This is going well beyond overreaction now. Everyone jumping on the stupid PC train.

Apparently it's a very obscure racial slur against Arabs or Muslims. Apparently.

The problematic thing for me is, are they now admitting they were always racist or is this a thing of times have changed it was fine last year but now it's wrong?I read their socials, MTG have buckled under the political pressure,
Depictions of Racism in Magic
There is no place for racism in our game, nor anywhere else.magic.wizards.com
and once the 'white privilege' (you know, Sorcery) card was pointed out, minutes within their announcement they responded,
Now I have to ask, are J. R. R. Tolkien, Andrzej Sapkowsk and others work also going to be abolished, adapted or cleansed?

If they don't remove that, that is honestly the funniest most backward 10 ply move I've ever seen.
Destroy all white creatures? Give your balls a tug Wizards...Maybe if you weren't 40 year old virgins you wouldn't have been such floppy wizards in the first place. Figure it out.

Nothing is sacred anymore
(first was censored, but then reversed)
If you can't see why Invoke Prejudice is racist then you are part of the problem.
There are definitely some cards on the remove list that's stretching but I do not think its a bad idea to relook at all the designs and remove cards that are either political or target a specific race or group.
While we do live in an overly PC world, we do need to see what requires change.
