In terms of new kids shows that I just don't think have a culture war angle, I've had no problems with hot wheels: let's race.
I'm thinking it might be related to the fact that Hot Wheels has never been this sort of franchise that you go to if you are trying to achieve power. It's a franchise about cool looking cars. I found that in spite of the fact that there are things that if you wanted to nitpick you could complain about the diversity, but same sort of diversity that you would have seen from an '80s cartoon so who cares, it's just a dumb cartoon for trying to sell toys kids and I'm here for it.
Honestly, trying to sell toys is not a bad thing. I want to buy toys for my son. And the best thing would Hot Wheels is that they're cheap -- you can get them at the dollar store for two bucks, and that's not two freedom dollars, that's two canuckistani kopecs. I bought the game associated with the series on pc, and it's fantastic, I can hand the controller to my son, and he can basically play with one button because it has Auto steering and auto acceleration.

@sj_zero Patrick Stump, known for being the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, made the music for Hotwheels. He has a pretty distinct voice, so it was hard to not notice. And I agree on your other points— it us refreshing when a kids show ONLY wants to sell them a toy.
