HBO quietly removed “Gone With the Wind” from its HBO Max streaming service late Tuesday amid protests and riots over the death of a black man in police custody.

In a statement released later explaining the move, HBO said the movie “is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society.”
