The world famous Tom and Jerry cartoons now have to show a warning of scenes of 'racial prejudice'. 
This is because the chambermaid is depicted as black.
You couldn't make it up
World's gone mad
etc

Mammy Two Shoes is a heavy-set middle-aged black woman who often has to deal with the mayhem generated by the lead characters.
Mammy's appearances have often been edited out, dubbed, or re-animated as a slim white woman in later television showings, since her character is a mammy archetype now often regarded as racist. from wiki |

Mammy Two Shoes (sometimes Mrs. Two Shoes) is a fictional character in MGM's Tom and Jerry cartoons. She is a heavy-set middle-aged black woman who often has to deal with the mayhem generated by the lead characters.
As a partially seen character, she was famous for never showing her face (except very briefly in Saturday Evening Puss). Mammy's appearances have often been edited out, dubbed, or re-animated as a slim white woman in later television showings, since her character is a mammy archetype now often regarded as racist.[according to whom?] Her character was greatly inspired by Oscar-winning black actress and singer Hattie McDaniel, best known for playing "Mammy" in MGM and David O. Selznick's 1939 film Gone with the Wind. |

You seem to quote from it quite a bit. Racism continues to diminish by the day and its stalwarts are dying out but yet I'm seething? Have a look in the mirror. |

01 Oct 14 20:05 World Wide Web - heard of it? Yes. You seem to quote from it quite a bit.[ I only read the news on BBC television pages. I either post it here, or find an internet link. But you'd know that if you read my posts. Can you see an internet link in the first post? No you can't, diquehead. Racism continues to diminish by the day Show me evidence of racism in the opening post. and its stalwarts are dying out I think that if you check your figures, everybody dies. but yet I'm seething? Yup. Have a look in the mirror. Unlike you, I don't need to look in one to see if I exist. (Leave your smart answers here and I'll get back to them some time) Carry on SEETHING, boy. |

If Mammy Two Shoes had ginger hair, and Tom was a black cat, then hitting it with a broom would be racist?

Gingers are exempt from everything. |
