Fibber McGee and Molly was a popular radio comedy that used Greek, Irish, Black, and Asian stereotypes. When the program was pressured to eliminate them, head writer Don Quinn was angered. He called the campaign “snoopery, meddling, finger pointing and thin-skinned crybabyism.” Quinn felt Americans had gone soft: “We’ve got an epidemic of war-born touchiness; a mass yearning to regulate and restrict … Everybody wants to be a censor [or] maybe it’s just that a few people are getting louder.”
