 I'm disappointed that we can't use changing societal norms and
 examples of historical behavior as an object lesson. Societies
 change, and embarrassing imagery reminds us how far we've come.

 The first season of Sesame Street was marked with an advisory that
 parental guidance was suggested because of the subject matter.
 Changing times, changing contexts - and nothing to do with the
 current iteration of the show.

 Now, Mickey Rooney's portrayal of an asian character in "Breakfast at
 Tiffany's" is a whole different level.   :)
