Disney edited out a bunch of racist scenes from movies in preparation for the Disney + launch
Did they?
We had it on the week trial and I watched something or other which began with a disclaimer saying something about the movie being presented in full however there are some cultural depictions which they believe are outdated.

I might have to stand heavily corrected. I sit next to a Disney exec at football and he told me that they were considering doing it. I then read some articles that said that they had done so to a release of Dumbo, but it turns out that they changed their minds. I'm actually quite pleased to hear this.

Similar to the Warner Brothers method then?

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.
