2005. And Whoopi recently came down on the aforementioned Disney for trying to hide its history:RaceBannon said:
What year was that released. Seems too reasonable for 2018Doog_de_Jour said:I’m a big aficionado of animation, and the racist portrayals of different groups gets brought up a lot. When Warner Brothers released their Looney Tunes Golden Collection, they added this introduction by Whoopi Goldberg to address the issue:

TL;DW - these cartoons were a product of their time...not saying the jokes were OK, don’t twist, but censoring these would be to pretend that stuff never happened, which is not OK.
While I’m not a parent myself, I do have lots of young children that inhabit my sphere of influence, and when I see this type of stuff I think (YMMV depending on the age, etc. of the kid) it’s a good opportunity to use it as an educational moment and have a frank discussion about why people find this offensive, etc.

My elementary school library had that book.BearsWiin said:July 2005: BW starts preparing his children early for the coming race wars
I checked it out.
I've eaten at Sambo's more than once, too. As I recall, their breakfast was delicious and their place mats told the story about how little Sambo got chased around a tree by tigers until the tigers chasing him turned to butter - maybe the delicious whipped butter getting spread on your pancakes. Well, it was ghee in the actual Sambo story - but nobody knows wtf ghee is so the place mats said it was butter.
I loved Looney Toons, too.
I had no idea I was such a racist.

Peter Pan was one of my favorites and I did not remember any of those scenes. Maybe, just maybe, I subconsciously chin @Swaye so much to make amendments
But while we are at it, when is Capt Hook going to come under fire for that damn hand?

Why is Snow White always white?
