From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Even if we were to magically remove the racist context from that image (which we cannot), the fact that the template itself says "Scrub away the lists, ladies" is perhaps unnecessarily forcing gender onto an issue that doesn't need it. Literally "Scrub away the lists" works just as fine with that image and is less questionable.
The user also brings up the issue of classism, which, of course, is a complicated subject in discussing Doctor Who, but while there's some merit to this, the mere act of cleaning is seen as lower class, so unless you have it automated (eg, the nanogenes) this will always be present.
Suffice it to say, however, I'm in full agreement.
