2. I have never seen sticky out ears
portrayed as a demeaning stereotype for black people though. It just happens Obama's protrude more than normal so they are caricaturing a specific trait of one person not a whole race IMO.

I'd probably be a lot more bothered if they had had him with huge blubbery lips and a flat super-wide nose or some other racial stereotype that he does not particularly display as an individusl.
