Why is Minnie the Moocher banned?
Why is the B&W cartoon short called Minnie the Moocher featuring Betty Boop, banned?? I don't see anything racist or offensive about it...I've heard the lame-o answer that it's because her father appears to wear a yarmulke (It looks more to me like it's just his bald spot) but at any rate just showing a yarmulke is NOT offensive. And also I have heard because of the covert drug references in the song, i.e., cocaine, opium....But does anyone out there know FOR SURE????

It’s not 100% banned…I own it on a Betty Boop DVD collection.
