Storyline from IMDB: The Pilgrims land at Plymouth Rock and found a colony. A very large number of Pilgrims can be seen standing in line... for their cigarette rations. A Pilgrim goes hunting for Thanksgiving dinner. He meets a black market turkey, one who sounds like Jimmy Durante. The turkey sells himself to the Pilgrim, but a chase ensues... The turkey can deflect machine gun bullets... when dressed as Superman. The two declare a truce and decide to eat together at Joe's Diner.

I sometimes wonder if Better Boop's extra short dress in the 1930' was to take the focus away from her extra-large head?

Then Native Americans Get The Military Thumbs Up: Roger Ramjet...
(Was Roger Ramjet An Air Force Promotional Cartoon? Loved these cartoons as a kid, btw)
Roger Ramjet enters cowboy country and gets caught and they become convinced he's a martian (very similar to present times, I have to say. Then they are attacked by wild Injuns that don't know there aren't supposed to be any wild Injuns (Wild West Proverb: A good injun is a ...?)

Horse as a brother is apt as one of the first crimes that got you a lynching was stealing a man's horse.

Roger Ramjet calls them Injuns "The Cleveland Indians".

Roger Ramjet is a hero to the Injun and makes friends with him

Injun wants Oklahoma back (which means, btw, 'red people')

Injun sneezes Injun names (i.e. their names sound like they could be sneezes?)

This cartoon was made before The Southern Strategy made racial jokes an EXTRA touchy subject. Nowadays, history has been reversed so I just I would point out that this Cool Cat dude was Northerner or Californian and probably a Republican. The ones insulting the "Injuns" who Cool Cat is making fun of were probably the Southern Democrats who are the ones who call themselves Republicans nowadays. Yes, I know it's confusing.
