** The ''black'' crows, particularly the group's unfortunately named leader ''Jim''. Generally given a pass despite the stereotype, for actually becoming helpful friends to Dumbo.

*** To be fair, "roustabout" refers to any laborer performing temporary, unskilled work. The lyrics could instead be interpreted as the plight of any poor person in a labor intensive job, instead of being a blatant case of racism. It's just that the circus Dumbo was traveling through the Southeast during the story, [[Fridge Logic|and the labor pool in the area would be mostly African American.]]
* [[The Woobie]]: Let's see... he's openly mocked and given a rather insulting nickname from mean lady elephants, gets the same treatment from some bratty kids, his mother gets sent '''to jail''' for justifiably attacking said kids, he gets relegated to clown duty after getting stage fright on his first big act (which the other elephants denounce him for), and even becomes accidentally drunk. He only has one friend to help him get through this, and even said friend can't make everything better. When does all this happen? Over the expanse of probably about a week, starting from ''the day he's born.'' Dumbo just may be Disney's woobiest woobie '''ever''', and you know that's saying something.
