Come to think of it, maybe the (possible) racism of some of the accents in the PT isn't that they have certain accents - It's that the accents are played for humor?
Well then I'm really racist! ;-)
The fact that the VILLAINS are inept Asian caricatures, is the racist part.
Although, frankly, I do believe that using "racist" in application to these cartoon characters, is an insult to actual racism.
To pass for racism, these caricatures need to carry some sort of malicious undertones, and these inept toads are just way too innocent for that.
Caricature alone doesn't make racism, it only makes comedy (in the case of TPM, poor comedy).
