Several shorts from the 1940s and 1950s contained racial stereotypes prevalent in American media at the time, most notably the character of Mammy Two Shoes (the housemaid). In modern archival releases, Warner Bros. handles this using a few different methods: replacing the voice tracks, digitally re-animating certain scenes, or releasing the unedited shorts with a disclaimer acknowledging the historical context, stating that altering the cartoons would be the equivalent of pretending these prejudices never existed.
