Minoriteam was a low-budget animated series that first aired on [adult swim] in 2005 and ran for a single season.The story revolves around five super heroes, consisting of Dr. Wang, El Jefe, Jewcano, Fasto, and Non-Stop, each based on a racial or ethnic stereotype, who join up to fight discimination. Their main opponents are The White Shadow, headed by the White Shadow, a man with the Illuminati pyramid as a head. The show only lasted one year, but being a racially charged show, was crammed with racial tropes, played straight, subverted, and averted. All members of the team, with the exception of Dr. Wang, have non-stereotypical civilian identities. | |

| Minoriteam / int_16178c64 | comment |
Gratuitous Spanish: El Jefe's dialogue is all in Spanish, but slowly and in very simple terms - like someone who barely spoke Spanish wrote his dialogue. This is probably intentional for the sake of parody, though. | |

It Sucks to Be the Chosen One | |
| Minoriteam / int_224f98fa | comment |
It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: In "Heaven Can Wait", Fasto ends up in Vahalla and learns he is the prophesied "man of charcoal" who will open the 10,000 doors of Vahalla. It turns out that the Norse Gods were expecting Fasto to burn himself alive so the Norse Gods can use his bones to make the keys to open the doors. Needless to say, Fasto is not pleased. | |

Ambiguously Human: White Shadow looks like a human with a pyramid with a single eye on it for a head. It's unclear if he is wearing a mask he never takes off or if it is really his head. In "Tax Day", a woman who is presumably his sister looks like a normal human. | |

Captain Ethnic: All of the Minoriteam. Played for laughs. Humorously, their civilian identities subvert this completely. It's only in their hero identities that they become walking stereotypes (with the exception of Dr. Wang, who's just like that.) And most of the White Shadow's group, white Captains Ethnic. | |

Clueless Aesop | |
| Minoriteam / int_2d8da79 | comment |
Clueless Aesop: This is arguably the main problem with the series. Basically, the series is trying to talk about racism. However, the presentation is so garbled that it can be unclear what the actual point is supposed to be. For a specific example, "El Dia Gigante" is about how El Jefe's dad, El Yo, views El Jefe as promoting negative stereotypes of Mexican culture. Given the fact El Jefe is a combination of various Mexican stereotypes by design, you think the story would take El Yo's side. However, he unleashes a Kaiju on the city to kill people for praising El Jefe and attempts to murder Fasto and Jewcano. This seems to suggest we aren't supposed to agree with him. So, this just begs the question of what the story is trying convey. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Minoriteam / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Other than Dr Wang, the members of Minoriteam's civilian counterpart averted their persona's stereotypes. Fasto (Landon K. Dutton) worked as a college professor in Woman Studies. Jewcano (Neil Horowitz) is an accountant who dated a black woman—Fasto's cousin—and is interested in black culture. El Jefe (Richard Escartin) is a handsome billionaire. Non-Stop (Dave Raj) is an extreme sports skateboarder that complimented his superhero's magic carpet ride. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Minoriteam / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In "Tax Day", the White Shadow Organization tries to kill Jewanco by planting a car bomb, which ends up killing his girlfriend instead of him. A whole episode is based on GoodFellas. In "His Story", Jewanco brings the Arc of the Covenant to the Civil War to help Fasto and Non-Stop. When he opens it, the arc kills all the bad guys present. In "And Justice For Some", White Shadow cites Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as the inspiration for the episode's scheme. | |

Bizarro Universe: The Mirror World is a dimension where everything is backwards. The characters repeatedly poke holes in the idea. This proves to be the undoing of White Shadow's plan to hold Minoriteam trial because, in the Mirror World, "minorities are actually tried by a jury of their peers" meaning ethnic people who are sympathetic to Minoriteam. | |
