My view has a slightly different tilt. I keep telling myself that this is a Vacation, and an expensive one at that. There should not be any attraction that insults the customer. How is that a vacation to see my race made fun of? I am of Polish decent, how would I feel if instead of Monster Inc Laugh Floor they had a Polish Laugh Floor where endless Polish jokes were repeated. So yes, updating rides is a good thing and should continue as needed.
It can be a little complicated because something being "offensive" is in the eye of the beholder. They aren't actually making fun of an entire race, BUT the context around a lot of scenes in the ride is lacking and there is no inclusion in other aspects of it, so I totally get why it can be seen as problematic. The fact it that the ride is sort of "out of touch" these days, so I am all for changing it.
