Oh, I think I know why:

Episode description according to imdb.com:

Jerry is far from Tom's servant here. Tom, shipwrecked, washes up on a tropical island. His first attempts at food - a coconut and a turtle - are much too hard. But he spots Jerry just before Jerry sees him, and soon has him in the frying pan. Jerry escapes to a cannibal village; when he sees Tom's frightened reaction, he has his plan. Using soot from a pot, he blackens himself, then threatens Tom and starts cooking him. But Jerry's plan - and tail, and un-blackened bottom - is exposed when his grass skirt comes off during his war dance. Jerry helicopters away using the bone in his hair, and leading Tom right into the real cannibals. But Jerry's triumph is short-lived, as a pygmy cannibal comes after him. Written by Jon Reeves {jreeves@imdb.com}


You wouldn't believe the amount of racism found in our favorite cartoons from long time ago.

Jen- You're correct

And Caroline pretty much explained it. It's a very old Tom and Jerry episode. It has aired several times before, though not recently (as far as I know) although scenes were cut or redubbed.

You gotta love YouTube for having the uncensored version:

YouTube - Tom & Jerry - His Mouse Friday

This isn't the only episode. There were some that had the character "Mammy Two Shoes" who apparently was portrayed as a stereotypical African woman (southern accent and all).

Oh yes, I remember the Mammy character. You know they "redubbed" her voice in a few sparse future airings. Racism in cartoon is just a fact of life.
