Didn't see any Chinese, Filipinos or Arabians in Welcome Back Kotter, was it racist? Let's not carry things too far. The Jeffersons were not exactly a mosiac of America either.
They were sitcoms. Period. Funny, and not in any way offensive, unless one wants to make them so.

I actually didn't see Dukes of Hazzard as racist at all, but poking fun at southern stereotypes in a humorous way.
And, yes, I'm sure that Daisy Duke was fantasized about by a few red blood teenage boys more than once. Ample and sometimes not so judicious use of plastic surgery has allowed her to age reasonably well.
Before streaming was invented, the Mr. was reminiscing about watching the Dukes on TV as a kid (I did too, and insisted on paining my tricycle orange like the General Lee), so I surprised him with the complete series on DVD. Halfway through the first episode, he remarked that now he understands why his dad enjoyed watching it with him . And now the torch has been passed because my sons watch it now, too. Sigh. Boys.

UPDATE:
Flag is removed, albeit reluctantly.
Crowe said Tuesday morning that she referred the letter to Leamon Holliday, the county’s attorney, who in turn recommended the flag be removed to avoid potential litigation.
“We are reluctantly going to do that,” Crowe said.
Crowe later commented on the Bryan County News Facebook page, stating: “When I forwarded the letter to Mr. Holliday I advised him I was against this and if anyway possible I wished to keep the flag in the courtroom. Unfortunately, it’s unconstitutional to have this flag displayed in a government setting. As much as I am against it, I do not wish to cause the taxpayers unnecessary expense in litigation.“
Or maybe those people that have spent their lives "studying" the law are biased and they would rather just keep the status quo than to upset the cart.
Could be. Any reason to think your guess is correct?

Yes, that's why I don't trust your "expert" legal analysis.
