Speedy wasn't in syndication for a while, but he's back baby. Darunia, you have a very uninformed view of "political correctness", the sort of childish view of it "destroying everything we love" that was all the rage in the 90's. The fact is that while various companies did restrict this or that for being "offensive", as time goes on it's made very clear that, at least as it applies to really stupid things, it's all just temorary fads.
You also don't seem to understand the difference between a company caving into pressure and the government actually restricting free speech. Companies are not branches of the government and are free to not show whatever they want to not show.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
