Disney edited out a bunch of racist scenes from movies in preparation for the Disney + launch. I really don't know how I feel about this. I am quite conflicted about it. Feels much more like attempting to modify history than removing statues of racists to me. A racist in a film is not quite the same as displaying an effigy of a racist on a plinth.
It seems mad to be. Times have changed and people should understand that. The biggest progress should surely be when people are genuinely shocked or surprised by something they watch.
Have a look at the Tattoo thread for similar problems.
