I've just been looking at some old Loony Tunes videos on YouTube and yikes, the Uncle Tom character in this cartoon is very dated and uncomfortably racist



The racism in this isn't exactly subtle

But it passed at the time, so as a historical artifact it needs to stay in sight imho. Lest we forget etc.

It sounds like a sensible solution to me. Contextualised discriminatory language and imagery is better than censored language and imagery.

What other characters feature, and is there any character design or language which could be described as racist or culturally insensitive?

You get more warnings that a cartoon is likely to offend than you do with an N.W.A. album
