Tom and Jerry cartoons on television are being accompanied by a warning that they may depict scenes of racial prejudice. The classic cat and mouse cartoons, some made more than 70 years ago, carry a warning for subscribers to Amazon Prime Instant Video. There have been claims of racist stereotyping in the depiction of a black maid in the cartoon series. Amazons warning says such prejudice was once commonplace in US society. Tom and Jerry, once a staple of childrens television on British television, is being presented with a cautionary note about ethnic and racial prejudices. bbc.in/1rG1kqw
