...I mean Mickey is based on black face minstrel show stereotypes. Note the white gloves. Only one kind of racist caricature in American pop culture at the turn of the twentieth century wearing those.
Goofy is transracial, trans species, and probably nonbinary for good measure too. Is there a canonical character more queer than Goofy?
Was going to mention the gloves thing (props to the editors of the Finnish Donald Duck magazine to mention that piece of Disney history in an article, it was pretty interesting to learn as a kid)

How does Goofy's portrayal in Goof Troop factor into this
Donald threatened to tear up his contract if they made him appear in "Mickey's Mellerdrammer" an animated rendition of Uncle Tom's Cabin (from 1933; I'm not linking because it's SUPER Racist).
wtf, Donald is based and would never be a chud
In Italian comics Donald has a superhero identity which he originally took on just so he could steal shit from Scrooge and fuck with him

That's the cleverest thing he's ever done :desolate:
:chad:
I think the “joke” is supposed to be that it’s because Donald is white
... does Garrison see Mickey, Minnie and Goofy as black

Counterpoint to Mickey being black: Black Pete.
of course :pete: uses blackface too
counterpoint to your counterpoint: Mickey first puts on white gloves to perform in a one-mouse vaudeville act in "Opry House" in 1929.
Other characters afterwards probably were given glove hands to match his, but the origin is really unmistakable.

There is no Mrs. Goofy in Goof Troop. Max was born through asexual reproduction and you can't convince me otherwise.
