Q: Bugs Bunny and Racism (answered with ![]() When Cartoon Network showed June Bugs in 2001 there were 12 cartoons that they did not show due to racist content. What were these cartoons and who directed them? Also, any help finding them would be most welcome. My search returned the following results for the 12 cartoons that Cartoon Network didn’t show in 2001 due to racist content. 1. "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt" Directed by Isadore 'Friz' Freleng (as I.
