Amazon Prime are stating that cartoon -Tom and Jerry -slapstick cartoon show racial prejudices that were once common place in American society.Mainly due to the character -Mammy Two Shoes-apron wearing black woman in episodes 1940-1952 but can be argued this is us judging the past by our present values .Even
walt disney is no innocent -king louie - jive talking orangutan or aladdin with a lyric about Arabs cuttinf off your ears.In Rupert The Bear,1940,s an island of black people called gollies stealing noddy s ears.Yes all wrong but take a look at some of the modern cartoons as an example Family Guy who in the show have a character with a name similar like pervert and hangs around boys.Like most things you find disconcerting just switch off.
