It played in Michigan during the super bowl, I honestly didn't even notice it as it at the time, but I see that it is gaining some headlines as racist.

We have a crappy battle brewing for a senate seat this year.
clicky
Is it racist and why?

If you replaced her with a black, Jew, Mexican, white or anything else then yes, it would be considered racist. But because it targets "Asians" and specifically Chinese people, its not.

The part you're all missing is that no one in China actually speaks English like that. She's not speaking with an accent, she's speaking in American caricature. "Dat ho be lovin muh dik n' sheeit", is not. It's how many real black people speak.
