We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast to turn your attention and racist radar to the boob tube, that tit we suckle which feeds us ignorance on a daily basis. Long before shows like Outsourced and 2 Broke Girls promoted racial stereotypes, TV has been pumping hate into our homes. And this is even after racism was less commonly accepted!

From hate-mongering news shows and reality competitions to sitcoms with cardboard characters of color and puppets inspired by crude ethnic stereotypes, these are the 50 most racist TV shows of all time. Strap on your racial sensitivity, friends, 'cause here we go again...

What a stupid article, I can't believe that website would spend time coming up with this crap.

What a bogus article. I think that site makes money off sites like this feeding traffic to their worthless articles.

#50 Two Broke Girls

The first time I turned this show off in disgust was the introduction of the Asian restaurant manager. Typical stereotypical weak, stupid, esmasculated Asian male. I am white and married to a Chinese woman, and live in Asia. This is not representitive of Asians as a whole and was insulting. For some reason, this Asian racism is OK.

Can't speak for anyone else but I know when I think "racism in television" I automatically think Seinfeld

This is perhaps the dumbest article/feature I've ever read on the internet.

I can take 2 Broke Girls over any animated floating timeline sho anyday. Now why do scripted TV shows (live or animated, mostly animated) can concentrate only on minorities' stereotypes?

So... Chris Rock's 'Nat X' character from SNL has returned as a staff writer for Complex?

Yet another "click the arrow to see the next one" page. I stopped at 50. From now on, people who make these websites, please go back to a list on one page.

That article sucked!

"Seinfeld" racist? "Johnny Quest" racist?

They might as well have put "Gimme a Break" on there since Nell Carter played a housemaid!

I remember hearing about Amos and Andy a show in the 1950's that also was on radio in the 1940's was taken off the air for had racial sterotypes. I never saw the show.
