I just started rewatching Farscape. Every single actor and extra is White, except maybe one or two. It's really weird watching it, like an alternate universe. It's like watching old videos of cities before they got diversified. It's evidence of what the West was like before the propaganda and forced replacement.
This is the way. Show your kids the things YOU grew up with. Instill in them an appreciation and nostalgia for stories made before their time, before we got "spoiled" with all this CG and special effects-laden crap. It'll make them far more open to partaking in and enjoying media made across multiple times, which is sadly missing in a lot of people these days, who'll condemn anything made at least seven years ago as "old and outdated" and refuse to touch it.
Just imagine if this was made in the 90s. Pretty Stargate/Xena-esque white girls running around mostly on-location outdoor sets chucking colorful SFX.

I only let my kids watch 80s and 90s movies for this reason.
There's still propaganda in media from back then, but it's far more subtle, and they still have good messages.
