The flock of crows who initially tease Dumbo, but eventually help him, have faced accusations of racially stereotyping African Americans. This is not helped by the fact that the head crow is literally called Jim Crow (referring to the Jim Crow laws which enforced racial segregation). People have noted that all but Jim are voiced by African-American actors, but nonetheless in 2019, they just wouldn’t do it.
