There are countless tropes and stereotypes for Asian culture in this show. Not only that it conflates individual cultures into one grand Asian stereotype. It callously blends Chinese and Japanese cultural facets into one sort of mystical East stereotype. It is a vile show that corrupts children by reinforcing racist ideas of the Orient.

I just notice now that any representation of asian diversity in a lot of western entertainment is always East Asians like China, Japan, and S. Korea, but rarely South East Asians like Vietnam, Philippines, and Malaysia.

Jackie Chan was one of the producers, he based parts of it on his own life and he appeared in liveaction parts at the end of the episodes, how is it racism?

Yeah looking back, Omi being yellow is more than unfortunate. In the sequel series they introduced another little yellow skinned boy called Ping Pong too

It's not like they used anything to disparage Asians. Omi was as much a developed character as any of the main cast.

Speaking as someone Chinese descent myself, I loved that show. Seeing anything Asian on TV was a treat because of how little Asian representation there was and is.
