You are assuming it’s a race thing at all. So you think this same photo where the restaurant was a family owned burger joint and the kid at the cash register was white that suddenly wouldn’t be racist? That makes you the racist. You clocked the race of the child and presumed a whole lot of information that was not given to you. How do you know this isn’t a summer job? How do you know the actual age of the kid? He could be 16 with a slower development. There’s so much that you are assuming based solely off of your experience around Asians and Asian restaurants.
Seriously, a really popular show out now is Bob’s Burgers, about a family who owns a burger restaurant and he absolutely loves making great burgers. And they’re white.
The idea is if it’s a small, family run restaurant, there’s a good chance those recipes are family recipes. So it’s gonna be good.
Also, I understood the homework thing to be about his age , not about his race. I might be wrong, though.
Yeah, its all a interpretation.
But the picture is either playing with this assumptions or is at least tolerating them.
If you want to do this joke without this … stale aftertaste(?), you have to set frame different
You’re the only one thinking the joke is about Asians. Which makes you the racist. That’s what I’m saying. The joke is about family owned restaurants and you could have it be any family of any race. You’re the one focusing so hard on their race. You’re the one with the issue with the race in this picture.
Read: you have a problem with the fact that there is an again child in this photo and would rather it be a non-Asian.

Playing jokes on racial cliches, even if the cliches are positive, are still racist

Do you see the problem with that?
