They are playing a racist stereotype, but it doesn't actually bother me. Why? Because the Autobots learned how to talk through the world wide web, and if some of them just happened to pick up a stereotype being shoved down our throats by all the top 40 rappers, who can blame them?

I think as someone mentioned, it's more 'making fun of the stereotype' than 'making fun of the people attached to that stereotype'.

That said, I did find them pretty annoying.
