T. Hawk and Dee Jay kind of make me uncomfortable.
I know that most of the characters are little more than cultural/national stereotypes, but I feel like those two kind of cross the line.
T. Hawk epitomizes the 'wise Native American of fake tribe who's all into nature' stereotype, and all of his outfits make the Redskins look good in comparison. And Dee Jay, well, as a Jamaican, he feels like a really shallow parody.
Dov wahlaan fah rel. We were made to dominate. The will to power is in our blood. You feel it in yourself, do you not? I can be trusted. I know this. But they do not. Onikaan ni ov dovah. It is always wise to mistrust a dovah. I have overcome my nature only through meditation and long study of the Way of the Voice. No day goes by where I am not tempted to return to my inborn nature. Zin krif horvut se suleyk. What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

I have that game for my 3DS. My stepdad bought it for me last Christmas, which should illustrate how well he knows me (I don't really enjoy most fighting games).
As for Yume Nikki, I should check up on the official webmanga.
Jamaicans are not constant fountains of smiles and happiness. They're a very passionate people in a variety of emotions ranging from happiness to sadness to anger. Making the one Jamaican character a grinning jackal is kind of stereotypical.
Jamaicans generally go for tambourines instead of maracas.
I've never heard a Jamaican who would call themselves Dee Jay, or DJ.

To be fair, understanding which video game genres you like isn't exactly necessary to being a good parent.
We have three different girls with schoolgirl uniforms as default or alternate outfits (Ibuki, Makoto, Sakura), one who's a paint-by-the-numbers seductress (Juri; btw, she also wears heels in her alt costumes), two who have ludicrous cleavage windows (Rose, C. Viper), and Cammy, who needs no other words. Even Chun-Li has an alternate costume that's reminiscent of Mai Shiranui.

not normally but we've discussed the exact subject before.

While stereotypes are never acceptable or good, they're not exactly surprising in Japanese media.

Man, Street Fighter is based on stereotypes. It's very foundation is stereotypes. I think it's code requires you to make jokes about Japan and Sumo wrestlers. And Japan is a largely homogenous country, so they're not exactly experts at treating other cultures with respect.
It's just that, sometimes, the stereotyping feels less light-hearted and more...cruel. Like Balrog and Birdie, who were the first black characters in the Street Fighter series. They both happen to be dim-witted, selfish thugs who think with their fists.

There's really no such thing as lighthearted stereotyping, I'd argue.
And again, Japanese media is not great at treating the non-Japanese with any real respect, except sometimes "Europeans" who aren't from anywhere in particular.
So yeah, making a checklist of all the black characters.
Balrog's a thug, Birdie's a British thug, Dee Jay is a joke approaching minstrel humor, Elena's your typical 'mystical African', and Dudley (as awesome as Dudley is) is also a bit of a joke. One that's funnier than Dee Jay, but still a bit of a joke.
There's also Sean Matsuda, Ken's Brazilian apprentice in the Street Fighter III series, but no one's ever heard of him.
The reasons for the name switcheroo was to avoid lawsuits from Tyson (whom Balrog/Bison is an obvious, obvious ripoff of). Also, Capcom USA thought Vega was too girly to be a dictator's name.

Still, Street Fighter's not as bad as Super Punch-Out.

It doesn't make sense in Japan or America.
It's a fiery thing with a whip
Gandalf fought it while falling down a pit which is pretty kewl

You're so beautiful
How do you wake up every day
And look into your face
And see such beauty and go on with your life
Knowing that it exists inside of you
