💨 Abstract

In 2024, "Mary Poppins" became the most complained about film due to its use of the term 'Hottentots,' which is considered discriminatory. The BBFC reclassified the film from U to PG due to the offensive language, leading to 56 complaints. The term was used by Admiral Boom to describe the Khoikhoi people and chimney sweeps.
