    According to Ms Cato No1, not Tillikum's first victim either. Killed and paraded the body of some drunk guy who wanted to swim with the Orcas one night.

    The British Board of Film Classification has now deemed parts of the 1964 classic about a magical nanny unsuitable for children to watch alone.

    The rating has been upgraded from U, meaning it is suitable for all, to Parental Guidance because of the use of the derogatory term “Hottentot”.

    Coined in the late 17th century to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of people who were among the first inhabitants of southern Africa, the term is now considered to be racially offensive.

    Admiral Boom, a neighbour of the Banks family in the film, says “Hottentots” twice

    Mary Poppins film rating raised over ‘discriminatory language’

    The film, starring Julie Andrews as the nanny who transforms the lives of two children, is being re-released in the UK. Classifiers picked up a dated and racially offensive term.

    Would any child pick up on that and decide to use the word to describe other people?

    This sort of appeasement of "the mob" is what is most distressing about all of this.

    The best response I've seen was this on twitter:
