Mr. Morgan, George's African-American boss at one point. In fact, one episode has George fumbling over himself because he thinks Mr. Morgan looked like Sugar Ray Leonard, which offends Morgan. George then tracks down Joe, another African-American, in hopes of "connecting" with another African-American as atonement for his idiocy.

Both of those roles were not stereotypical in the least and actually presented a positive image for African-Americans.

There were also smaller roles for African-Americans, including Victoria Dillard as a social worker and another AA actor as the owner of the coffee shop the gang frequents.

There was also a positive role for a Native American woman once, as far as I remember.

If the show mocked anybody the most, it was white people, as represented by Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer and their shallow, self-centered lives and actions.
