As if there weren’t enough issues going on in the world that really mattered, cinema enthusiasts across the pond have decided that Mary Poppins, the beloved Disney movie from 1964, was too risqué, controversial, and, well, “racist” for the eyes and ears of today’s uber-sensitive generation. The British Board of Film Classification rebranded the children’s film with a PG rating because of the film’s use of the word Hottentots, a term used to describe South African Khoekhoe herders, as the Washington Examiner’s Heather Hamilton previously reported.
It’s a silly left-wing political stunt that is indicative of the overly educated, underly in touch with reality crowd. It represents everything wrong with the so-called “woke” culture and the race-obsessed fanatics seeking to reshape society. There is nothing sensitive or racist about Mary Poppins. To borrow (and “reclassify”) a term from the film, the whole thing is “supercalifragilisticexpiali-stupid!”
