- kristopolous 6y agoit's been toned down enormously. Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's as Mr Yunioshi for instance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb3gdUrIC4Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb3gdUrIC4Q) this used to be common.

If something like this was made today and the people somehow ended up in court over it, I'd probably think "well, they saw that coming"
