Well yeah they learned that more than just little white girls like their movies. Look at the animated Disney/Pixar feature films, so much more than it was in the pre- renaissance era.

Even during the Renaissance ...we had Pocahontas and Mulan and Jasmine...but these people were more like phoned-in representatives of their cultures compared to now.

Look at Encanto, or Moana/Viana. Or Coco. Or even Soul.

Hell, Strange World features a mixed race family with a queer son and a three-legged dog.

And the movies are better for it. They are more relatable because they aren't all some xeroxed copy of the same plain princess with a slightly different tint. And more importantly, they are showing their young and impressionable viewers a cast that reflects reality. That not every family is a carbon-copy "traditional" family. That different cultures exist and yeah, live a bit differently than suburban white folk (who live a shockingly similar life to the Sultan of Agrabah).
