Is Tom and Jerry Racist?

That's got your attention, hasn't it.

 

Amazon Prime have put a health warning on the second series of Tom and Jerry stating that:

 

"Tom and Jerry shorts may depict some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American society. Such depictions were wrong then and are wrong today."

 

Are they right? Should we judge a 70 year old cartoon by current standards, or should we enjoy it as a very funny cartoon and an intriguing piece of social history?

 

I think it says more about the pathetic , PC, touchy ,feely world we now live in when we are having warnings plastered on everything that is completely harmless.
