Minoriteam
Affirmative action heroes

// The skinny: When the evil mastermind the White Shadow and his henchmen of racists threaten the world, it's up to the Minoriteam to stick it to the Man.

// Review: Cartoon Network hits another home run when it takes political correctness and kicks it right in the balls. This "fully colored" super team is made up of a mish mash of racial stereotypes. Their leader,Dr. Wang, is wheel chair riding Asian human calculator who runs a laundromat. Jewcano has the powers of the Jewish faith and a volcano. Fasto is a black guy who can run really fast and likes white women. El Jefe is a Mexican that wields the most powerful leaf blower on Earth. Non-stop is an Indian convenience store owner who is impervious to bullets.

/ Together they battle to thwart the sinister White Shadow who is a corporate CEO with the head of the Illuminati pyramid. Some of his racially biased cronies include the Standardized Test, the Corporate Ladder, Stuck up White Bitch, and Racist Frankenstein. A few of the plans Minoriteam have foiled include a conspiracy to stop the building of a Native American casino that was apparently on a sacred pilgrim burial ground and a giant salsa spewing pinata running amok in town.

/ The art is an homage to the legendary comic artist Jack Kirby, including all of the overly dramatic character poses. The scene transitions, sound effects and narrator gives it a very Super Friends feel. One of my favorite episodes is "Illegal Aliens," where the White Shadow has worked a deal so that aliens will kidnap the Minoriteam. For sport the aliens try to destroy them using their greatest weaknesses against them (Jewcano/giant nickel, Fasto/his bossy momma, El Jefe/an El Camino).

// Wrap up: If you happen to be a minority who is sick of ultra-PC sensitivity and can laugh at our stereotypes, then you'll get a big kick out of this. White people will laugh nervously because you're all racist.
