White men aren't able to do anything because they are complete retards.
That's what I learned watching a couple episodes of this show. Why does a kids show have ANY negative stereotypes? They get enough of the white man = complete idiot watching television commercials, which just loves to run with that stereotype.
you know I thought the same thing after I watched it once or twice...but it's really only Mr Lopart and Elliott that are the idiots.
shareAren't Mr Lopart and Elliot the only white guys on the show?
shareNo, in the last couple of days I've seen others. The guy who owns the shoe store and the guy who owns the bike shop are both white. The shoe store owner is a little incompetent, but the bike shop owner isn't. I guess it varies.

Really? I thought we'd be talking about the stereotype of Hispanic handymen, but Manny at least doesn't work for a case of cervezas.
shareI never think of Manny as a negative stereotype. He owns his own business and is a respected member of the community.

Seriously, he's pulling down 6 figures with that sort of job and reputation.
You know how you can tell this show is racist? You can guess who is not an idiot by what they look like.
I've watched a few episodes and I reached the same conclusion as the original post. No need for this stereotype in a kids show.
