When kids study older literature and media in school, generally when there's a slur or racist reference or joke, the teacher will stop and explain the context and get the kids to reflect on it and why it's probably not acceptable today.

I still remember how my English teacher gave context on usage of the n-word in Huckleberry Finn and how insightful it was for us at that age.
