That's right, it has nothing to do with Cartoon violence

It seemed innocent when we were kids, but now “Tom and Jerry” is getting a warning about possibly being racist.
The classic cat and mouse cartoon from the 1940s now comes with a disclaimer on Amazon Prime Instant, saying that the animated series may contain scenes of “ethnic and racial prejudice.”
“Tom and Jerry shorts may depict some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American society,” the disclaimer states. “Such depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.”
This is not the first time “Tom and Jerry” cartoons have been slapped with a disclaimer. In a previously released DVD from Warner Home Video, a warning appears on screen informing viewers that some of the cartoons show racial and gender stereotypes. The DVD also contained an introduction from Whoopi Goldberg, explaining why producers decided not to remove the offensive scenes from the re-release.
