in case you missed the pilot, here's a summary - i swear i made a thread when this show premiered, but i can't find it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoriteam

The superheroes are:

* Non-Stop, an Indian convenience-store owner who is immune to all forms of live ammunition (ironically mis-identified in widely-distributed publicity as Middle Eastern). In his non-stereotypical real life he is an ex-pro-skateboarder.
* El Jefe, a Mexican that fights crime with a leaf blower and does not speak English. In his non-stereotypical real life he is CEO of his own oil company.
* Dr. Wang, Chinese Human Calculator and the leader of the Minoriteam. He also owns and operates a laundromat. He has no known non-stereotypical real life.
* Fasto, an African-American man who is known as "the fastest man that ever was." In his non-stereotypical real life, he is a bookish Professor of Womens' Studies.
* Jewcano, a man with the powers of the Jewish Faith and a Volcano. In his non-stereotypical real life, he dates statuesque black women and loves soul food.

The five heroes team up to fight a collective of villians that are meant to poke fun at certain stereotypes of Caucasian society. It is assumed more will be introduced as the show continues, though some of the villians shown so far include:

* The White Shadow, leader of the clan of supervillians, with a head/helmet in the shape of the Illuminati Pyramid.
* The Head of the Cheerleading Squad, who is always snooty and impossible to please.
* The Corporate Ladder, a ladder with a stool at the top who is impossible to scale/climb.
* The Standardized Test, a man with an eraser on his head. His stereotype is that standardized tests are biased towards caucasians.
* Racist Frankenstein, a monster that shows his anger and hate for other minorities.

I think between the rest of AS and especially the Boondocks, we get enough racial humor. It seemed like it was trying to be off the wall for the sake of being off the wall. Like some straight edge guys tried to make a drug inspired show or something lol.
