Also, I guess I should add: The reason its racist, not just stereotyped is that I'm pretty certain people never see this cultural phenomenon in a positive light, so it's a negative stereotype based on physical appearance.
Its it important? Probably not too important, its not something I think they need to spend money making commercials for or anything, but in the question 'is it racist or is it not racist', yes, its a little racist.
