What do you mean "Even the bible"? Why should that be exempt?

If a context can be given that the singer and audience are likely to understand there is a case for including references that in this day and age we have learned to understand as damaging. I suppose a good rule of thumb is: would you sing a song including racial misrepresentation (never mind "stereotype") to an audience with a number of representatives of that ethnic group sitting among your audience?
