They didn’t sing “Mammy” or do anything overtly racist?

Singing a nice, old American song is "overtly racist" now?

I see you have adopted the opposition's terminology (the first step in losing an argument).

Al Jolson in blackface, singing "Mammy" in The Jazz Singer, 1927, the first talking picture.

Yes. That would be considered racist today.
