The show my niece and nephew watch features a black child as one of the characters for Cartoon Network's Clarence, but he seems to have been stereotyped. I don't understand how something like this is getting by in today's world.

the actor went through puberty so its hard for him to try and sound young now

This is why woman traditionally voice young boys in animation. They don't have to worry about puberty.

the show can be kinda cute like that episode where clarence meets a girl over the phone but even then it clearly was held back by a writing team that couldn't make it as interesting as they could
most of the time the show tries to do dumb lolrandum shit

i wish there'd be a more down-to-earth, realistic version of a show like this that still manages to be fun

The show is already down to earth even if they do act goofy
