14. Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan
Okay, so the crime-solving hijinks of Charlie Chan and his music-playing teen charges only lasted for a single year in 1972, but it still bears mentioning because of how awesomely racist it was. Those who aren’t familiar with Charlie Chan can just get an idea of how incredibly bigoted his presentation was by this fact. The cartoon show based on his exploits was the first and only time someone of Chinese ancestry played the character. Typically, he was portrayed with buck teeth, slant-eye makeup and a terrible accent. The show was cancelled after 16 episodes. Fun fact: Jodie Foster was actually a member of the original voice cast.
