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?

@antipodean proof is in the pudding right? How many generations have seen this fucking movie and upon reading your post, I discovered the word for the first time.

@Victor-Meldrew wrong thread!

I don't know where else to put this, but how the fuck is this possible?
A Victorian family’s Easter weekend in the Gold Coast has ended in tragedy after two men drowned trying to rescue a two-year-old girl.
Dharmvir Singh, 38, and his father Gurjinder Singh, 65, attempted to rescue Dharmvir’s daughter who fell into the pool of a Surfers Paradise resort on Sunday night.
Paramedics rushed to the Top of the Mark hotel on Orchid Avenue at about 6:45pm and found the two men in cardiac arrest following the drowning incident.
It is believed the toddler’s mother attempted to save the child, but that she could not swim, prompting the men to jump in.
Queensland Ambulance’s Gold Coast senior operations supervisor Mitchell Ware said the child was playing by the side of the pool prior to the double drowning.
“It’s believed that that child has lost their footing, causing them to fall into a deeper part of the pool, at which point the two male patients then entered the pool in an attempt to rescue that child and found themselves in trouble at the pool,” Mr Ware said.

@antipodean same thought followed by his big was the pool?
Wonder if alcohol was involved

@antipodean after reading this, Mrs Boo reminded me of an incident we witnessed not so long ago when we were over on Fraser Island / K'gari.
IIRC we were in the pool/restaurant area for breakfast/brunch at Kingfisher Bay.
A family of not-European Australians were swimming.
The pool is pretty small, but the middle dips down a bit over one's head.
Seems one of the kids got out a little far and panicked when feet lost contact.
Kid started screaming, parents went hysterical, much splashing and wailing.
I didn't get what was going on, but others did and dragged peeps to the edge of the pool.
Can see this exact same scenario playing out here.
An inability to swim compounded by panic.
Very sad.

Saw that at a river in NZ years back, a joker got completely disorientated , and yelling for help, he was in water of about waist depth, but was panicing instead od standing up!
