I'm afraid how far Disney is gonna go with this. This is only the beginning and they'll probably be recutting many more movies.
They could have someone give an introduction to the movie and explain why the scene is considered racist and offensive, give it some historical context. Cutting it completely is taking something uncomfortable and sweeping it under the rug.

This is exactly what they should have done, considering they already have precedent for doing this sort of thing. The "Treasures" line of DVD releases had introductions by Leonard Maltin, providing historical context.
