the 1930s were the golden years of racist cartoons
but watch them today and you'd be pretty shocked
So from bizarre depictions of Japanese people
to unbelievably offensive depictions of black people
These are the 10 Most Racist Old Cartoons
in 1968 11 cartoons were banned forever
they were dubbed 'the censored eleven'
And you are about to find out why they were banned
Because number 10 on our list was among them
it's called Coal Black And De Sebben Dwarves
this is a WW2 propaganda film in which popeye beats up and drives a Japanese
man to commit suicide
the film was produced to teach children not to trust the Japanese
So it's no wonder why old people are so racist
it's called you're a sap, Mr. Jap
Welcome to the bizarre world of Soviet animation
this 1961 propaganda film features offensive depictions of Middle Easterners
Africans
Hispanics
and Asians
Which is basically everyone
It's called Valuable Kopeck
this is another ww2 propaganda film
although it is anti-japanese propaganda, there is a hint of irony
it is introduced as a film produced by the
Japanese military showing off their technology which turns out to be quite primitive
everything about it is racist
and it's called Tokio Jokio
In this one, Betty Boop presents a stage show for performing children
in one segment, a trio of black babies cry until they are distracted by watermelon
It's called Making Stars
There has been more than one cartoon duo called Tom and Jerry
And this was one of the first
they are on a plane trip to Africa when they decide to blend in with the locals
and they did so in the most racist way possible, by adopting blackface
it's called plain dumb
even know this is an anti-slavery film
it still shows happy slaves tapdancing, and eating watermelon
It just goes to show that in the 1940s, even people who weren't racist
were racist
It's called Uncle Tom and little Eva
From this point onwards the cartoons are ridiculously racist
This one is offensive from the get-go
It follows the story of an Indian child called Sambo
Sambo being a racial slur
It's called Little Black Sambo
For number 2 we have another from the censored eleven
It shows dancing, African, cannibal, tribesmen
They have big lips, grass skirts, and neck rings
It's called Jungle Jitters
brace yourselves because this one is unbelievable
It's unbelievable
