Mary Poppins age rating raised in the UK over discriminatory language

The 1964 Disney classic, Mary Poppins, is having its age rating raised to PG in the UK. Reportedly, the move is due to its discriminatory language. The change centres around the use of a colonial term used in the movie. The term is a pejorative word, historically used to describe the Khoekhoe people of South Africa. The British Board of Film Classification says while the film bears historical context, the language used is not condemned, prompting the new classification.
