Miss Nik, for the record, the Tom & Jerry maid (whose name was Mammy Two-Shoes) NEVER had her face shown on TV. However, on one cartoon, Part Time Pal (1940), they showed a silhouette of Mammy Two Shoes chasing Tom in the moonlight and swinging a broom. The silhouette clearly showed the stereotypical black mammy (do-rag, overweight, etc.). Oh, did you know that in the Tom & Jerry cartoons now, the old, Mammy Two-Shoes voice is now replaced by a more (for lack of a better word) 90s-ish black woman? If you watch Tom & Jerry on the Cartoon Network, try and catch a cartoon called Dog Trouble, and you will hear what I mean.

I've noticed that Rain Man. They don't even show some Tom & Jerry episodes that I grew up with and they've edited the ones they show. You how something will blow up in either Tom or Jerry's face and they'll have a black face with big lips. The one they don't show, but I rememeber is when they are in Africa and in one scene where Tom is in this huge black pot, Jerry is made up in black face, big lips, and uses poor english.
I guess those some scenes are not considered "politically correct" today.
