Sure, this is animation, not real people at all, but in this Joy to the World clip, for example, many of the faces are clearly the faces of black children, fathers, mothers. And in the closing segment, the California Raisins are obviously an African American singing group. The animators don't even shy away from placing them in an inner city. Love that.
