I agree that Sorkin wasn't being outright racist in any of his storylines. I'd say that he was relying heavily - far too heavily for a writer who aspires to any sort of quality - on stereotypes, and people do tend to take offense at that.
By the way, as for Tom's parents being from the country - Columbus, Ohio, with a population of over 700,000, is the fifteenth largest city in the US.
