Maybe it's a regional thing. Jar Jar didn't strike me as a racial stereotype until it was pointed out, but the grey suited commerce masters scheming in their boardroom with Japanese accents really struck me immediately as a problem. Temeura Morrison (who's a big name here) as Jango is sterotypical but in a positive way - the Maori were effective and skilled warriors. It certainly wouldn't be seen as racist here. Cheers Russell C.
