Racist Depiction of the Chinese
Magoo goes with Charlie, a stereotypical Chinese man, to the beach. It's actually a mining area and Magoo mistakes the place for an amusement park. Charlie speaks a terrible version of Chinese/English and has that exaggerated appearance people gave to the Asian people at the time. Charlie can see and he knows everything Magoo is doing to him. Magoo doesn't listen to a word he says and so the poor man is tortured time and time again. What Magoo thinks are amusement park rides are digging machines and ore cars. One can certainly see how offensive these cartoons were and how they may have affected young people at the time.
