Yep. That's not quite as bad as the perpetuation of the archaic "mammy" stereotype which is still prevalent in comedy, or the stereotype of the goofy black guy who does nothing but cracks jokes, has nothing of substance to provide, and is just there to be laughed at and not taken seriously.

I'd rather have an all-white movie than a movie that perpetuates racist stereotypes.
