The above link gives a look into the underlying racism present in Disney productions. Sadly, most of the videos have been removed but they can probably be found on YouTube. It's pretty wild how blatant some of them are. While I obviously had no idea of this racism when I was a child, I think it probably does give kids the impression that white was the "normal" race, as the characters who were portraying other races acted so differently and distinctly. The last one was just appaling. How people possibly thought it would be okay to publish something like that is beyond me.
"Poor little guy! He just makes mistakes. He doesn't know any better. I'll just have to be patient and teach him the right way to do things," said Mickey.
Oh, Africans know nothing right? We must teach them our enlightened ways!
