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!

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.

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).
