[...] Whitey himself can be seen on the sidelines. He is identifiable by the streak of white in his hair.
This scene, like the Lindy Hop sequence in Hellzapoppin’, has no connection to the main plot of the movie, so that it could be cut from the film when it was shown in the Deep South and other segregated venues.
The African-American people in the dance scene are portrayed as innocent and happy, a common stereotype of the time. There is a brief appearance of the Marx brothers covered in coal soot, a clear reference to blackface performance which may be shocking to modern audiences.

The song, "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm", in the clip is by Bronislaw Kaper, Walter Jurmann, and Gus Kahn, which features Ivie Anderson from Duke Ellington's orchestra.
The list of dancers is including Troy Brown, Dorothy Miller, Johnny Smalls, Norma Miller, Leon James, Snooky Beasley, Willa Mae Ricker, Ella Gibson, and George Greenidge.
(Apparently, the dancer we called John Bunch is in fact, Troy Brown.)
