::i genuinely cannot believe how much of a stretch it is to take offence to that image. the image has been completely removed from the context of the scene, and neither of the racist schoolboys say anything close to "scrub away the lists, ladies" - so how are we putting ourselves in their place? they dont even appear in the image. it was simply chosen because it is two maids cleaning, and i think that it should stay.

:::It's rather difficult to completely remove an image like that from its context given how awful the context is in regards to how Martha is treated when living through the events of that episode- and especially that scene. "Scrub away, ladies" is admittedly not a direct quote, but it's not great by itself, either. When accompanied by that image, it's worse. If you're determined to keep this banner, an image that is not from an episode where a companion is demeaned on the basis of her job and skin color should be chosen instead. There are a lot better options for this banner than what it currently is, imo. Both for how it's phrased and the image that is used.
