No movie should be banned just because it's retrospectively offensive.
Thank you for posting this. The last time I saw it was on YouTube around 2013 before Youtube's bots or Disney lawyers observed the copyright violation. There are a lot of impressive sequences involving live action and animation that the Disney studio pioneered before Mary Poppins almost 20 years later. I find it offensive that the American people are denied access to this film which is entertaining and charming. And there's nothing racist about it. These people aren't slaves as this is the South of the Reconstruction. The white mother has no qualms with putting her young son in the care of Uncle Remus. And the stories are from African-American Southern folklore anyway. This movie back in '46 would have been considered far more progressive than it appears nowadays to the Social Justice Warriors and "Woke" brigade.
shareI don't get why black people now cringe at old fashioned ways of talking, or using is or be differently.
Whites can cringe at our old fashioned phrasing of things.
The difference is that they say "that is racist stereotypes, the script was written by a white man, the movie directed by a white man."

We all don't - it's a small but very vocal minority that is making the noise. I'd be willing to be that it's more liberal whites trying to prove how progressive they are by joining and emboldening the cancel culture.

That's good.
I don't like how harmless words like colored or negro became offensive just for sounding "old fashioned", reminding people of more racist times and therefore the word itself became racist.
It's like the word aborigine is offensive to some and aboriginal used instead, despite it being an adjective, not a noun.
When I was younger, people of Asian descent were referred to as "Orientals" (being from the Orient, it seemed appropriate). Later, we hear that it's offensive. Fine, I don't use the word anymore, but even if someone did, does that make them a racist????
I don't wear panties, but if I did, should I get them in a twist because Asians refer to us as Westerners???
Oriental is actually the correct term in Great Britain.
Asia to them is countries like Afghanistan, India, Pakistan. So a police report that says 'asian man' doesn't mean what you'd think it means.
Someone from China would be referred to as oriental.
I've heard Americans say it sounds racist.
In Australia, we call Chinese/Thai/Japanese Asian, and people from India/Pakistan 'Indian in appearance.'
They used to be the same country so if they get offended whatever.
It's funny when Colombian students here get called Indian and they take offence. Do they think they look closer to white?
I can see why Colombians would get offended. Your comment is highly ignorant. Colombians aren´t racially homogeneous. They have a large African descended population as well as mixed as well as white. To be fair, I think any Latin American would take offense to being labelled "Indian".
