That bad guy is definitely Indian. I saw him in that oscar winning piece: "Slumdog Millionaire".

Perhaps its better left that way.

That was stereotyping of Australians from a New Zealanders point of view done so as to be completely ridiculous thereby making it hilarious (at least to Australians and New Zealanders) which is sort of pertinent to the debate of how different racial groups are portrayed in film and on TV...Flight of the Concords is a pisstake no matter what they're doing so given the intensity of the debate above, thought it was time for a bit of light relief before going back to the original discussion.

Currently streaming Robotech: The Macross Saga through my Wii. I'm seeing a total of one Asian character--Minmei.

ARE YOU PROTESTING THE JAPANESE ANIMATORS OF The Super Dimension Fortress Macross FOR THEIR RACISM???

Robotech is an especially funny example, because all of the Robotech sagas used stolen (well, purchased) animation from unrelated series. Like when Minmei in Robotech says her line in English, you can be sure that there exists no Japanese version of that line, because the footage was re-edited from some completely different show, where that animated character had a different name and a different plot line. The guy who bought the rights to the footage wrote the new storyline and managed all the audio recordings for his "new" American show.

Doesn't change the fact that the original Macross (which is the name of the show that Robotech: Macross Saga took all its animation pieces from) had only one Asian-featured face in it. I just had to share my meaningless cross-cultural trivia.

I understand that it is a combination of three previously unrelated mecha series, but as you say, that doen't change the fact that 99% of the characters are clearly not Asian. Those racist-ass Japanese animators clearly have got something against Asians.

Maybe because the target audience, in Japan, fantasizes about foreigners... where them round eyes at?
