Glee because they're all SWEEPING GENERALIZATIONS. The gay boy's a big queen. The geeks are either disabled or painfully socially awkward. There are token races all over the place it just...there are lots of Unfortunate Implications.
Mercedes (the black character) in particular? Pretty much for the same reason, she's the amalgamation of every stereotype you can throw on a black character (bad attitude, loud, Amazing Gospel Voice (tm), bright (read:tacky) clothing, "ghetto" in what appears to be a pretty much suburban area etc.)
