John Stewart is a talented comedian, and John Stewart himself will say how fucking sad it is that most people get politiliterate from a comedy show.
 
I find The Daily Show is much funnier when I am familiar with the stories they lampoon ahead of time. I think that's a big factor. People aren't informed because of The Daily Show; rather, people who watch to the show come into it more informed from the get-go.

I was going to say I also had a friend who was Asian and gay, but...... but then Zack Galifananakagnazaazbapapis locked him in a trunk and impounded the car?
... and then he wasn't gay anymore...?

It is mildly racist. Mildly, sure, but definitely. Your psuedocode doesn't work for me, Gas, because they could've easy made the exact same point without broken English and a bicycle. The fact that she spoke without an accent made it even worse, making me think of blackface. What makes it racist is the obvious implication that the "chinese" aspect of her character are supposed to be taken as negatives.
