Thats exactly what I mean. I don't think those things are necessarily purposeful as much as just engrained bias without a critical look. You could have exactly the same story, with those same characters, and not have them as stereotypes (at best). Just someone having the guts to tell Lucas that these are coming off a bit racist probably would have had them changed.
