This is kind of why I dislike the editing of the Tom & Jerry cartoons. Mouse falls head-first into shoe polish bottle, black-face. Cat gets covered by a chute-ful of coal, black-face.

When I was a kid in the 80s and they were released on VHS, this stuff was kept in. I didn't get it. I thought it was just hilarious. And one of the few times Tom talked (though in retrospect, as a teen, I realized this was a rather racist southern black accent).

It always bothered me when Boomerang and Cartoon Network cut those scenes, which were just parts of the problem, such as never (or infrequently) seeing Bugs cartoons where he dressed in drag.

As someone who absorbed a rather unhealthy amount of Hanna Barbera and Warner Bros shorts growing up, the (no pun) white-washing of America's developing cultural history (and animated shorts were a media heavily influenced by American culture at the time), it seems disingenuous to cut them as if they never existed and were always PC.
