“Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips”

Another old World War II era Merrie Melodies cartoon with racially insensitive material is called “Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips.” It’s about Bugs Bunny washing ashore on an island where he is chased after by Japanese soldiers. It was also banned by Warner Bros. for having racist stereotypes of the Japanese. Somehow it still ended up in 1990’s VHS re-releases. They were quickly pulled from the shelves due to complaints.
