Is Ja Ja really a racist stereotype?
and if so what was GL thinking?

Yep...and so are ewoks, watto, the neomodians...
Star Wars is our world "redux".
I don't want to get into detail about who's a sterotype of what at risk of offending anyone.
SW is also full of other analogies about ideologies and constructs in our world...Look at the Imperials..."Stormtroopers" + Vader's helmet = Nazi-sim.
It's also a mish mash of Eastern mysticism, Greek Mythology, etc...oh yeah, and Lord of the Rings is in there for good measure too!
But yes, Ja Ja is a sterotype...it's what Lucas does. Check out "George Lucas in Love" to see why his films have struck such a chord with audiences.

here is a rare pre-production photo of the original jar jar.
(please log in to view the image)
lucas later decided that this jar jar was too boring
and changed it to further showcase ilm's state of the art cgi.
