From http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/701/701593p1.html:

On the new Cartoon Network/Adult Swim animated series Minoriteam, a multiethnic group of superheroes team together and use the power of racial stereotypes to stop the villainous threat of The White Shadow. The group consists of the brilliant Asian Dr. Wang, African-American speedster Fasto, the bulletproof Arab Non-Stop, the leaf blower totting Latino El Jefe, and Jewcano, who possesses all the powers of the Jewish faith… and a volcano. The White Shadow in the meantime employs men such as The Standardized Test and Racist Frankenstein, whose name speaks for itself.

I can't wait.

It's been on for the past few weeks.

Not that great. I think they were trying to blend in with the Boondocks, but whereas the racist humor on the Boondocks is much more subtle and intelligent (in most cases,) Minoriteam is too in-your-face, and is more irritating than funny.

For in-your-face racial jokes, I like Carlos Mencia.

Boondocks is one of the most important shows on TV.

Minoiteam's a good time waster.
