This video has multiple clips of racial stereotyping. Although "Family Guy" has received countless arguments that their comedy is not suitable for television, they continue doing so. In almost every episode, one of the characters, such as Stewie, makes a racist joke and everyone just laughs or move on to the next thing. You can tell that the producers address certain situations with an attempt of light- hearted humor, but sometimes they cross the line.
