I suppose it's no more offensive than Los Guerreros and the stealing gimmick but come on. It's just tacky. What's next, an Asian that can't drive?

You're right about the Mexicools. I forgot them.

I agree with you, but it's not new for wrestling gimmicks to be stereotypes. Look at the Nation, or at Kaientai, or Daivari's "Anti-American Arab" stint. I think they make those gimmicks for new wrestlers because it's guaranteed to get a reaction from the crowd and help establish the wrestlers initially as face or heel.
Plus if you think Cryme Tyme abuses black stereotypes, then I wouldn't recommend you watch the UWL (Urban Wrestling League). I saw them on TV once. Their tag line is "Where Pro Wrestling and Hip-Hop Combine for the ultimate entertainment experience!"

I can understand how you feel, because I feel the same way about the Guerreros "The Batos" like from East LA or Barrio Logan and La Raza. But Cryme Time atleast fight on the good side.

I find them quite funny. And you forgot the "Mexicools" riding out on lawnmowers.

People that can't sing and go on national television to make fools of themselves bother me so I don't watch AMERICAN IDOL! WWE has the name enterainment for a reason! If it bothers you don't watch it. End of story and an end to your problem. By the way its not an Asian that can't drive, it is a redneck Asian. Yee-Haw!
