two eddie murphy post back to back. does that constitute a trend?

just flipped on the tv and trading places was on comedy central so i figured id check in on it for a few minutes. in the first scene i watched they removed the word "nigger" from the text. you could still see he said it but they scrubbed the word out of the audio track. kind of defeats the purpose of expressing how odious the characters are if you lose that context. here is the quote. score one for political correctness?

Mortimer Duke: Do you really believe I would have a *nigger* run our family business, Randolph?
