Yes the Tardis will go back to the mid 1970s and get eternally stuck there, and so all the females will turn into Benny Hill dolly girls.

Do you seriously think that anyone under 40 would know what a Hottentot was?

I knew it was Dutch and describes Africans but I am over 40. I did look it up to be sure and its a bit better than words in rap songs.

I never noticed, its language of its time, they could dub over it with ease.

Lets go fly a kite with the H*ttent*ts

A spoonful of racism makes the certificate go up

https://news.sky.com/story/mary-popp...guage-13081571

Mary Poppins has had its UK age rating lifted from U to PG almost 60 years after its release because of "discriminatory language".

The British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) said the decision over the 1964 classic, starring Dame Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, had been made over the use of the colonial term, Hottentots.

The derogatory word was historically used by white Europeans to refer to the Khoikhoi people in South Africa.

Luckily though they realised they over stepped the mark with a film that involves making soap out of people and beating their mates up.
I predict A Clockwork Orange being a U soon!

Brad Pitt's Fight Club was downgraded from an 18 rating to 15 despite its portrayal of "sequences of graphic and brutal violence".
