Those characters in Dumbo are integral to the story. Modifying or deleting the characters would destroy the business that occurs in that sequence. Deleting a few stereotypical background characters that show up for a couple of seconds cannot be compared to erasing of modifying characters that play a big part in the story. Erasing a couple of zebra-taurs, although stupid and uncalled for, has no effect on the film as a whole. Modifying or deleting the supposed "Jim Crow" sequence would destroy the entire sequence that makes up that part of the film. Even the PC influenced executives at Disney can see that.
