If it doesn't negatively affect kids, as you say, then why not let them watch it? Also assuming children know nothing about their history and culture to provide their own context seems a bit presumptive, especially for the older kids that would be watching. I don't buy this idea that kids are completely ignorant of their culture and history. Not to mention that the mammy character is so small and minor, it's almost irrelevant to the show.
