Me, no. But the accusation has been made that his "brownface" appearance is racist.

After laughing my ass off with Big Bang Theory for several years, the only thing I found offensive by the PopChips ad was the fact Big Bang Theory didn't get credit for the character.

If Raj on Big Bang Theory isn't a racist stereotype, then neither is this Raj. People are just pissed it's a white guy in make up, which is racist on their part.
