A few of those I can give a kinda-pass to, but some of those very much have the feel of something done to generate a cheep laugh at the expense of another.
As a character artist it can be a full career ending pain in the ass when it comes to doing character work for anything that is not obviously caucasian, myself personally I limit what I Do to caucasian, hispanic and african characters, thus far I can manage to generate characters in both realistic and stylized works that tend not to have the feel of being ethnic-caricatures, now with that being said I still SUCK at doing that with most of the east asian looking ethnic types(although if it is kept realistic I manage well enough with those). Which is not to say that I'm not practicing, but it is to say that that it can take months of an artist's life to experiment and gain the awareness needed to portray with respect which quite often involves understanding a complex set of rules on what to and not to do and when to deviate from reality.
And then there is the other issue that comes with this and that is leadership, imagine the worst leadership you have seen in the military and then take away 80% of their training and double the narcissism.

I strongly suspect that we will never again see the public offering of Song of the South (the Uncle Remus and B'rer Rabbbit Stories).

That's ok I have my DVD of it. and if you look at it with a open mind, it is not racist, Black and white children playing together, listening to stories told by an elderly gentleman. The setting was in the Antebellum South but hey that was a point in time. You cannot cut it out of History. It is still a great story.

Non of those you mentioned are still making films- except Disney. And let’s not forget what good ole Walt was doing before he broke into the motion picture business....

He started out as a propoganda illustrator for a newspaper. No comments about that?
