It was an attempt to mock racist stereotypes. To make you laugh at just how ridiculous those issues really are.

A classic attempt to break down stupid stereotypes.

Why do you think those minorities took those acting jobs? They knew.

Not to mention, check the writing credits:
It was co-written by Richard Pryor--THE bad-@$$ 70's "Live in Concert" Richard Pryor before he went into rehab and did "The Toy"--and Pryor was originally pitched to play Black Bart, but scared the studio into casting a more "mainstream-friendly" actor.

(While Andrew "In-Laws" Bergman contributed the silly plot, Norman Steinberg contributed the ba-dum-ching verbal gags, and Mel Brooks pitched in his trademark jokes:
"What if we rode into town and killed all the male firstborn children?"
"<thinks>...Too Jewish.")
