Bugs Bunny - All This And Rabbit Stew (1941)

★★★★★ · Racist, but otherwise standard - albeit a great find · xery1234 · 2021-11-30

I'm no racist myself (why would you be one?) but this was very harmless outside of the stereotypes. Otherwise, Bugs faces off with a black hunter and goof off. Mostly, it's typical Bugs-Elmer type shenanigans and silly antics pop off the screen - with this being the first ever "turning the log" gag appearance that would be used in many later cartoons, such as (what I think is) "Hare-Do". However, this cartoon suffers from the fact that it doesn't really do anything to particularly stand out. Besides a new antagonist, the setting is rather plaid out, and no enhancing gimmick comes with that…

We need to preserve this authentic history and educate our children with it.

The excessively stereotypical behavior of the "black" character really started to grate on my nerves after a minute, further destroying any possibility of enjoyment.

While it may be tempting to dismiss harmful stereotypes like the one seen in this animation as simply a symptom of the contemporary American zeitgeist, it is also imperative to realize that some things, while problematic in nature, should not be changed for the sake of political correctness. The reasoning behind this stance stems from the potential to see which big-brand companies were promoting and reinforcing racist and backwards ideals. For instance, the concept itself of a "black Elmer Fudd" is unproblematic, but the way the character has been designed and written (unrealistic facial…
