I used to own a copy of the script but alas it's lost. In addition to Munoz's song, there is also diaologue...in one of the replay/rewrite moments...where Munoz actually brings up race and talks about Stone having "the right color skin". Unfortunately I cannot expand more on the precise tone or whether this helps or hurts the concern because it's been so long since I've seen the show. But this could potentially be a moment to adjust something if the authors felt it would be helpful. It's tricky whether audiences will accept the stereotypes being Stine's.

And of course Zippel's unfailing sense of wordplay ALMOST redeems the stereotypes in the song - for instance, the notion of Stone suffering from the aftereffects of Mexican food for his last meal before he is executed because "they are gonna give you gas." I have to give him credit for that. :-)
