Ok Density, thanks for the answer. I absolutely don’t agree with you though.

It’s only racist if you want to believe it was.
You’ve made the reply I had in mind, thanks !
Besides, the crows in Dumbo are awesome characters, easily the best of the movie, and they are the ones who give Dumbo the help he needs. So I really fail to understand how a highly positive representation of black people (along with the song genre they have created) would be offended to black people. As a kid I always thought “the crows are so cool and they believe in Dumbo”, so I would even dare to say they are anti-racist characters.
