I find it amazing that this question rarely has a positive answer, and, when it does happen, people answer “no”. Yes, a dragon dies in the Piccolo Daimaoh arc, but is resurrected afterwards.
SPOILER BELOW about the identity of the dragon and when he is killed (take note that the other comment below mine also delivers the spoiler about the identity of the dragon, but without warning)
That dragon is shenron. He’s killed right after Piccolo Daimaoh gets his wish of rejuvenation.

Early on Goku has trouble telling boys from girls due to him living in the middle of nowhere by himself. When he first meets Bulma he doesn't understand what a girl is.

Visually, Black individuals are shown pretty often in highly stereotypical ways. They have ridiculously large lips, as in their faces are 50% lip. Chinese background characters also appear as racist caricatures, with tiny slanted eyes and buck teeth.

There are lots of panty shots, Bulma accidentally flashes Roshi, Roshi is all around a pervert, Oolong is obsessed with panties and even transforms into panties so Bulma will wear him, Yamcha sees Bulma naked. And that's just the first few episodes.
