Why are these censored?

[alstin]

Why the hell are these censored? Can anybody explain most of them or some of them? I know I'm not the only one wondering about some of these.

"Frigid Hare" (Jones; 1949):
Bugs' line about not returning to work until July, 1953

"The Hasty Hare" (Jones; 1952):
"I quit! When I start seeing things like this it's time to take up turkey farming."

"Lighter Than Hare" (Freleng; 1960):
Bugs sneaks behind Sam and substitutes dynamite for Sam's rocket pack: "Yosemite Sam from outer (boom!) space?!"

"The Queen Was in the Parlor" (Harman and Ising; 1932):
A short appearance by a Jewish knight

"Rebel Rabbit" (McKimson; 1949):
The scene that shows the headline: "Bugs Bunny Gives Manhattan Back to the Indians" and that has Bugs saying, "They (Indians) wouldn't take it (Manhattan) unless I threw in a set of dishes,"

"Roman Legion-Hare" (Freleng; 1953):
Bugs' line, "Well, as the Romans say, e pluribus uranium,"

"Trap-Happy Porky" (Jones; 1945):
The opening shot, of the sign stating "Uncle Tom's Cabins- Boarders Taken (For All They've Got!)"

"Yankee Doodle Bugs" (Freleng; 1954):
The Dutch purchasing Manhattan from the Indians;

Offensive to jewish people. probably with yamilka.

Indian stereotypes

Mocking the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin"

Probably because they think it's too topical by mentioning the year.

"The Queen Was in the Parlor" (Harman and Ising; 1932):
A short appearance by a Jewish knight

Because it's a Jewish stereotype?

"Rebel Rabbit" (McKimson; 1949):
The scene that shows the headline: "Bugs Bunny Gives Manhattan Back to the Indians" and that has Bugs saying, "They (Indians) wouldn't take it (Manhattan) unless I threw in a set of dishes,"

Most scenes and cartoons involving Indians aren't shown.

"Trap-Happy Porky" (Jones; 1945):
The opening shot, of the sign stating "Uncle Tom's Cabins- Boarders Taken (For All They've Got!)"

It references "Uncle Tom" who's a slave.

"Yankee Doodle Bugs" (Freleng; 1954):
The Dutch purchasing Manhattan from the Indians;

Again, most scenes involving Indians aren't shown anymore.
