Because the stereotypes make them instantly identifiable. It's not necessarily right or fair, but then, most cartoons aren't exactly made for Nobel prize winners.

Cartoons in general are about exaggeration. That includes certain traits that are commonly identified with people belonging to a particular group. Some of an element of truth in them while others are simply disregard or lack thorough research on other cultures. Non-animated television programs and movies also have their share of stereotyping, some noticable than others.
