		<description>"Can only members from that group talk about that group?"

YES.  FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES.  :)  

Seriously though, what made me offended of the depicted Asian wasn't because the mascot was Asian, but because the Asian had features which I automatically associate with coolie stereotypes which were used a lot against Asians in American culture and society.

And context has a lot to do with it as well.  I would probably be MORE offended if the Mister Wong mascot was, say, on a humor site because the connotation would mean "laugh at me."
