So, apparently Dumbo is filled with racist undertones???!!!  My childhood illusions have been completely shattered!  Not that Dumbo was ever even close to being my favorite Disney movie, but still!

Discuss.

Oh yeah, you mean the crows? And how they're really bad black stereotypes? And the leader's even named "Jim Crow"? Yeah I wouldn't angst too much over it, all the old Disney movies are rife with icky racist/sexist undertones.

See the comment above. Also, when they're setting up the tents in the rain, and the big burly black men are singing? The lines in the song are SO RACIST, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO FUNNY.
