I've never seen the offence either, but I suppose I can't speak for Africans/African Americans :)

EmilyELewis picked Princess Tiana (Princess and the Frog):
What about Simba and the rest of the "Lion King" gang?

And a lot of people consider Jim Crow and his companions to be offensive because not only were they named after southern segregation laws -- commonly known as Jim Crow laws -- but also because the crows displayed somewhat negative black sterotypes of the era (jive talking, uneductated, authority-disliking, etc.).

Arielsvoice picked Jim Crow and his Friends (Dumbo):
Absolutely, I love Jim Crow.

Yea, if anything Mufasa and Shenzi and young Nala should be black characters. The other lion king characters aren't voiced by black characters.
