Agreed, though I'd consider the example of Mickey Rooney's...

...charicature in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" satirical and intended for humor as well.

Such characterization might be considered racist, or at least insensitive to the cultures that are being, in some cases, mocked -- albeit in a funny way for its time.

One response to a racial mischaracterization I've seen such as "black face", was for blacks to wear "black face" as well -- satire on the satirist so to speak.

Strange as it may seem, some characterization may be an attempt at understanding.
