Disney says The Muppet Show is offensive.

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

Given they're presenting a disclaimer like HBO Max does for GONE WITH THE WIND, they might as well do the same for SONG OF THE SOUTH.

I've watched about a dozen episodes and the disclaimer has been on exactly one episode, and that one had a fairly stereotypical depiction of Ottoman era Turkey. It should be noted that outside of a single episode that is not available due to the guest star going to prison for having a huge amount of child porn, the only cuts to any episodes stem from an inability to secure the music rights, not due to content.
