Basically, those things are the most racist thing in entertainment allowed on TV since the old Disney movies. It's amusing, in a "I can't believe no one's bitched about this yet" kind of way.

And why is it racist again?

You're kidding, right? "Squirrel, please!" The ebonics, all that jazz. It's just like Peter Griffin said, "That's good old fashioned family racism!"

Yes, because after all, no one actually talks like that:roll:

No, you have it all wrong.. only black people are allowed to talk like that.. if anyone else does or parodies it, it becomes racism.

No, when someone plays off a stereotype of a race, it's racism. I honestly don't even care , I just think it's funny.

"Squirrel, please!" - A play off of "******, please!"
"Whaaat?" - A common stereotypical reaction
Stereotypical voice acting

Or the Dustballs one:
Stereotypical voice acting
?Joo? used in place of ?You? (stereotype)
?Eh man we gonna roll outside? (stereotype)
