Do you think that cartoons made decades ago should be censored to make them more politically correct by today's standards?
Certain sterotypical portrayals of minorities (blacks as servants, American Indians as savages, etc) bother some who feel they perpetuate the stereotypes and are outraged by the images. Others may feel that they are so outdated and exaggerated as to be harmless.
What about violent scenes in those same cartoons? Should they be cleaned up, as some have suggested?
What are your thoughts? Should Bugs Bunny and friends be censored?

To clarify, I mainly mean editing to remove the questionable parts. I don't mean take them out of circulation completely.

Fox is presented nationally to each physique with a television in the time of primetime, on a similar time as comic strip community's block grownup Swim is on cable and shown after 11 pm. On Fox, there's a lots wider risk of offending somebody than there is on grownup Swim, so Fox does not take and possibilities and censors something it particularly is purely too offensive.

Also remember that smoking can often be seen in those old cartoons as well.
I think they shouldn't be censored, but maybe not shown to small children if they are full of those stereotypes. Remember also that cartoons were actually meant for adult audiences and were shown before movies. They weren't written for children early on.

absolutely not this ignorance has already caused my fave speedy gozales to be taken off the air completely. if you censor art and cartoons are you're opening a flood gate the same narrow thinking has already caused some great literature to be taken out of circulation ( tom sawyer, huck finn) if you don't like it dont read it but leave me to choose for myself.......to hell with P.C. i don't need protection from thinking.

I hadn't noticed the portrayals of minorities in a bad light. Violence is what disturbs me. They convey the idea that a person could actually survive having an anvil drop on their head or falling off of a cliff. That kind of thing.

No- the classics reflect what society condoned at that time... i sort of time capsule....plus if you aren't intelligent enough to realized that they are cartoons you have bigger problems that political correctness. Plus I love it when the coyote falls off the cliff and doesn't realized it till he looks down.....
