At least the films are still available, even if this is just a PR stunt to cater to all the reactionary snowflakes of the world. And why they need to do this with Fantasia is baffling to me since they’ve already removed the offensive material if the article is anything to go by as I don’t particularly trust CNN.

Eh, it doesn't bother me. In the slightest. If a disclaimer heads off initiatives to have the work edited or banned, who cares? Don't read it, skip past it, use the time to open your Zagnut wrapper, check your phone, crank on FSM, whatever. I don't believe that people of color who are sensitive to racism are snowflakes, or are any marginalized or otherwise badly treated group. They're sick of it. By putting out the disclaimer, it shows the company acknowledges those attitudes are wrong and outdated but are still presenting them uncut because censorship is also wrong. It keeps the work intact.
It's a non-issue to me. If it keeps the films intact and in circulation, I'm grateful.

BTW, I don't think it's a crime to acknowledge that "some people WERE harmed in the making of this film." I think Scott McOldsmith summed it up perfectly.
I too can live with it, as long as they limit themselves to apologies for racial stereotypes. If they ever move on to having to apologize for ethnic, religious, or sexual stereotypes (Italians, Irish, German, French, Latins, Arabs, Jews, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, gays, transvestites, cross-dressers, drag, etc.) the disclaimers will end up being longer than the films.

I don't need Big Corp, Big Government or Big Brother lecturing me on social issues.

The countries currently going through this stuff should form a long overdue (for many other reasons too) should install a new department. The Department for Common Sense. The amount of ridiculous overstating of values most of us believe in anyway would get rubber stamped "ridiculous".
BLM and political correctness in general should both be forces for what is really good behavior and common mutual respect and done right would be. But somehow every knee jerk idea gets rolled out to the bewilderment of any sensible person.
Instead of banning everything in sight there aught to be a general move for all official bodies to say that we learn from mistakes of the past and move on. Whitewashing the past is actually dangerous. Auschwitz is left standing for a reason. Knocking it down down would be a great mistake as it's a stark and harrowing reminder of how shit humankind can be.
I'm not that much against warnings, much better than outright bans, but they need to start simply saying these things were made in less enlightened times.
