They changed it in subsequent prints of this cartoon.

And re-animated it.

The thing is, Clampett claims that blacks loved those sorts of cartoons when they first came out.

I have proof...

They apparently dubbed over the line pretty quickly but it took a while before they reanimated the scene, which they did sometime in the late 40's I've read. It's almost unnoticeable unless you start to look at the small details in the backgrounds or the animation itself. The backgrounds in 1933 were done in watercolor while the redo is possibly gouache or another opaque medium.

Animated by Argentine legend Oscar Grillo!

Speaking of racist UK adverts!

I honestly had that ESSO song in my head earlier!

"Oh the Esso sign means happy motoring..."

It's a catchy jingle!

More UK racism, this one might have even made it into the '90s.

All I remember about Golliwogs is that they were a staple of Enid Blyton books.

And that Gypsies steal shit.

Enid should be curriculum reading.

Conguitos certainly count. They're still sold in their original packaging over here which just goes to show that Spain still doesn't give a fuck about political correctness:

The last commercial was a failed attempt to make them less stereotypical. Public outrage caused the packaging to be changed back to its original state.

And that children somehow had mountains of food to take with them on camping trips despite the fact that food was rationed at the time.

Sometimes tradition outweighs everything else.

And I thought only R. Crumb could draw them right!

Going back to the UK, here's a cinema advert from the mid 40's for Rowntree's Cocoa, animated by David Hand's Gaumont-British Animation studios (known for their "Animaland" cartoons).
