Your standard of racism must be very extensive if you consider said pictures racist.

IMHO they are just stereotypical, but engaging in visual stereotypes is not the same as racism.

Stereotypes? Maybe. I have not seen them. It sounds like people are describing racist stereotypes, and using racist stereo types is racism, surely?
