I can't find the picture anymore, I hope one of you guys has it somewhere: But I remember a couple years back a bunch of us got screengrabs of WWE.com when side by side they had stories "WWE Celebrates Black History Month" and an article about the WWE releasing an African American wrestler for the life of me I can't remember who it was. Shad maybe?
The picture was sad/hilarious and I'm so pissed I can't find it. Somebody PLEASE! Help me, you're my only hope

Reading that statement gave me a flashback to all the stupid racial stereotypes WWE has used in the past. Two particular ones came to mind, both involving Slick. The introduction of Akeem and pretty much the entire music video of "Jive Soul Bro". The damn video intro opened up with Slick eating a bucket of fried chicken!!!

-Asian characters always being made "martial arts masters", with gimmicks straight outta 1944 and apparently are big fans of stereotypical flute music. The list goes on Tajiri making Torrie come out in Geisha gear. What about Tensai beating up that Japanese servant every week!

Could be mistaken (and WWE could have easily blown it if I am right) but weren't the Mexicools supposed to be a sendup of all the Mexican stereotypes?
