Read more about Racist Frankenstein at: Wikipedia Official Site: Cartoon Network Minoriteam is an animated television series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The pilot episode premiered on November 6, 2005, with new episodes included in the Sunday Line Up beginning March 19, 2006 and ending in July 2006. The plot of the show revolves around five male superhero, each of whom is based on a racial or ethnic stereotype, who join forces to fight against a bunch of villains who are mostly discriminatory concepts. The show's artwork is largely an homage to Jack Kirby ("King Kirby" is thanked in the show's end credits), while the animation style parodies the limited animation of the Marvel Super Heroes Show of 1966. The opening tag declaring that Minoriteam is broadcast "FULLY COLORED" is both a racial reference and an homage to the "IN COLOR" or "IN TECHNICOLOR" line opening many old cartoons. Dr. Wang, Chinese Human Calculator, is the leader of the Minoriteam. He is paraplegic. He has a terrible personality and powerful mental abilities. He also owns and operates a laundromat where he charges extra to get your clothes back from the machines. In addition, he has faked accidents to obtain legal settlements and is a compulsive gambler. He has no known non-stereotypical real life. In the episode "The Assimilator", Dr. Wang gives the team "tea" to drink and then tells them that it is his urine. His depiction as a Chinese, however, leans more to the stereotype of Manchurian Chinese, mostly with his mustache and queue, which otherwise makes his design reminiscent of Dr. Fu Manchu. El Jefe is an overweight, moustached Mexican who fights crime with the Leafblower 3000, the deadliest weapon in the entire universe. His mask is a Sombrero pulled halfway down his face with eye holes cut in it. In his non-stereotypical real life, Richard Escartin is the handsome billionaire CEO of his own oil company. El Jefe is also 1/18th Viking.
