Let's view this from a different angle. The money will always be coming in. Since the movie is beloved for non-racist reasons, let's assume the racist and non-racist portions are in competition. Removing scenes that don't affect the beloved aspects of the movie is easy and cheap.
Meaning, it is entirely possible to easily produce a version of the movie that is less racist and still popular. If the only reason you don't is to appeal to the integrity of the work, I argue that the all-or-nothing approach is more about moral posturing than market demands.
