Mary Poppins Is Now ‘Racist And Offensive!’ – Gets A Change In UK

Kids.

They have the right to choose what gender they are, according to the Left.

If they want to mutilate themselves, that’s all well and good.

But watching Mary Poppins?

Now you’ve crossed the line!

It’s an upside-down world when current day Disney is pushing some much evil on kids, but the pure wholesome older Disney films are now getting warning labels and increased age ratings.

“Warning – Don’t remember how good things used to be!”

The age rating for 'Mary Poppins' has been increased in the U.K. due to “discriminatory language.” https://t.co/lptrgsj39b

The Washington Examiner reports:

The renowned Mary Poppins film has been reclassified with a PG rating after it was deemed to contain “discriminatory language,” drawing a heated response.

The British Board of Film Classification ruled that the 1964 film depicting Julie Andrews as the beloved and magical nanny includes content that is “unsuitable for young children,” according to a report.

The board ruled that the film’s inclusion of the word Hottentots, a historical reference to nomadic Khoekhoe herders in South Africa that was used by Europeans, is now racially offensive.

The word is said twice in the film: once when Admiral Boom, who was played by Reginald Owen, asks the Banks children if they are “going to fight the Hottentots” and another time when he declares he is being “attacked by the Hottentots” as the chimney sweepers, covered in chimney soot, are dancing on the roof.

“We understand from our racism and discrimination research,” the BBFC said, “that a key concern for … parents is the potential to expose children to discriminatory language or behavior which they may find distressing or repeat without realizing the potential offense.”

Will this rating spread over to the United States?

Is this going to be a new trend?

Going back and re-rating movies and possibly re-editing them to remove ‘offensive’ parts?

MSN adds:

“We originally classified Mary Poppins U on its release in 1964, and again in 2013 for a theatrical re-release,” the spokesperson added. “Most recently, the film was resubmitted to us in February 2024 for another theatrical re-release, and we reclassified it PG for discriminatory language – see here.”

A “U” rated move, according to the BBFC, “should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over, although it is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child.”

The board defined a PG movie as one that should not “unsettle a child aged around eight or older.”

One of the main categories by which the BBFC judges a movie as PG is for the appearance of “discrimination.”

“Discriminatory language or behavior is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of, or in an educational or historical context, or in a particularly dated work with no likely appeal to children,” the board explains. “Discrimination by a character with whom children can readily identify is unlikely to be acceptable.”

When it comes to media, get physical copies. DVDs, Blu-rays, etc.

These companies can’t edit what you hold in your hands.

But if your movies are all digital, on iTunes, Netflix or some cloud, they could swap them out with edited versions while you sleep.

I think I know what I’m watching this weekend.
