Disney Plus, which launched Tuesday amid a host of technical issues, issued a disclaimer on some decades-old movies that reads, “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”
The warning appears in the movie descriptions for “Dumbo,” “The Jungle Book” and “Lady and the Tramp,” among others that have faced criticism for depicting racial stereotypes.

Its not just Disney stuff. There is a lot of overt racial stereotype stuff out there from the 30's-60's in movies and TV. Saw some youtube's where people put together some cringe worthy moments from "classics" and "beloved" movies and TV in that era. It's not some SJW level BS, its cringe worthy stuff that didn't even register with me the first time I saw the movie or TV show.
