British censors give Mary Poppins 'parental guidance' tag due to 'discriminatory language'

Mary Poppins has had its age rating raised because of a derogatory term for the Khoikhoi, a group of people who were among the first inhabitants of southern Africa.

Mary Poppins has had its age rating lifted to a PG by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) almost 60 years after it was first released.

The film’s rating has been upgraded from U — which signifies no material likely to offend or harm — to one advising parental guidance due to the use of discriminatory language.
