"Mary Poppins Receives New Age Rating Due to Racial Slur Controversy"
The British Board of Film Classification has raised the age rating of the classic film "Mary Poppins" to PG due to the use of the discriminatory term "hottentots" twice, which is now considered offensive. The term is used in the film to describe the soot-covered faces of chimney sweeps and exceeds the guidelines for U films. In the U.S., the film's rating remains unchanged at G, with no notation about discriminatory language.
