I never thought of either one of those cartoons as being racist or stereotypical. I think the "stick of butter" just stood out as having a wild and free handed drawing style.
I think it's the cute little girl's heavily urban accent that's throwing everyone off. "A loaf a-brade, a containuh a-milk, and a sticka-budda." I think it's very cute and sometimes say it in the grocery store! For the other nine-tenths PLUS of North America watching this that DON'T live on the east coast, it stuck out like a sore thumb, but everyone in every part of the country has some sort of accent. This one, IMHO, fits the skit perfectly, as it's supposed to have been aimed originally, I believe, at inner-city kids, and this just portrayed a young kid trying to remember her mom's instructions at the corner store and HELPING OUT! A good lesson in any decade.
