Default Is american kid\'s tv racist/xenophobic?

Almost every other week theres a european/asian/arabian person on american kids tv with a stupid name from a fictional country, who they portray to be pathetic. Two examples are found in Cody and Zack or whatever it's called in whitch the guy who's son is a prince who's told by the twins about the american way of life and prefers it (), the one with the chinese man beard gets caught in a hoover and he shouts in a stereotypical angry chinese man voice. Then I see in correy in the house, more or less the same thing with the european girl who sees america and wants to stay, much to her father's dismay () and last but not least, in 'That's so raven' there is the russian gymnast and the african guy who arranges a marriage for them with wierd traditions displayed at the ceremony and Raven basically making fun of their dancing by showing them "how americans get down" .

It is quite insulting and annoying. Basically teaching american kids that other countries are stupid and to be xenophobic of anything non-american.
