I figured I'd put these two episodes against each other since they both feature basically the same villain and they both are of questionable racial sensitivity.

Decoy for a Dognapper

Dognapper, but why try to stoke the flames of conflict by bringing race into this? To me, it's more about culture than anything. Every culture borrows from another or finds quirks they think are interesting, and inevitably, they poorly adapt them. It's just part of life. Somehow in today's climate, trying to be a part of another way of life is looked down upon. There was a time when it was appreciated, even if the other side was doing it ignorantly, at least they found something attractive enough to try.
Now racial insensitivity would be depicting a bunch of drunken Indians sitting around trading vast amounts of land for beads and then lacking the intelligence to understand the white man's contracts or trying to eliminate a culture all together. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but i know I've seen Scooby episodes where native people were considered wise good guys.
