The whole Asian blackface thing might be also be their way of trying to subvert the cultural ideal that paler skin is better; being darker/tanned was an indicator you spent more time outside in a field as the working class (I'm sure you guys know this). I do wonder what the ideal is like in African nations (er, besides albinos being killed and hunted for parts because people think they're magic).
You know now that we're talking about this, it always stood out to me that Asian people in earlier Simpsons were always a lighter yellow than everyone else, but that's a whole other topic.
