OK, so we know racism when we see it, 23 September 2007

Yes, "Porky's Phoney Express" is very much a product of the days when it was acceptable to portray American Indians as savages. I will say that the cartoon contains some clever gags (such as "Follow that horse!" and the Indian's hand), but are we really about to treat as a masterpiece anything that portrays a decimated people like this? I suspect that if they ever release this onto DVD, they'll have to put it in a section of cartoons containing racist images of non-white people. Others in such a section would be "Ali Baba Bound" and "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs". Until then, you can find it on YouTube. Just understand what kind of cartoon it is.
