I don't think it's fair to include "Land of the Silver Birch" with "Ching Ching Chinaman".

The former expresses a desire to return to a lost, idyllic way of life. The only objection I could see is the use of the term 'Red Indian' song to describe it; The latter makes fun of of a group of people using an insulting stereotype.
