This GOOD TIMES animated reboot trailer is so incredibly racist, I refuse to put it on my nice, clean website*. It is so incredibly racist, it would make a white supremacist blink and ask, Can you really put that on television these days? It is so incredibly racist, I would not be surprised that this was Norman Lear’s announcing to the world that he had secretly been a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan all his life; and only revealing it now because he’s dead, and thus beyond the realm of human scorn and disapproval. Every human being involved with this production now defaults to Horrible Mode, and should be ashamed of themselves. Or possibly just make plans to retire to a monastery/nunnery, where they may contemplate their sins.
The animation is also shit, but you knew that going in.

I suspect they got away with it due to the Production/Cast *ostensibly* engaging in self-parody.
Further speculation on WHY they would accept doing so would violate The Rules™
Also it’s Seth McFarlane, who is inherently and fundamentally a douche.
After being called raaaaacist for so many things that weren’t (most flagrantly, cooking dinner for a friend), it’s almost refreshing to see the actual thing.
In the same way it’s “refreshing” to wake up upon being thrown into the settling pond at the local sewage treatment plant.
