Tom & Jerry to be censored?

T&J still shows in the Asian Cartoon Network. Funny that smoking became an issue, but no one has said anything about 'Mammy', the voluble, lumbering, faceless African-American woman who comes out in early episodes, complete with stereotype accent. (Oddly, later episodes shows the same figure speaking with a thick Irish brogue . . .)

By coincidence, The Daily Show aired just such a Mammy clip from T&J after showing another old clip from The Flinstones puffing away happily on their sponsor's cigarettes.
