You are probably thinking of Unfortunate Implications, but it requires for the problem to be unintentional.
If something is intentionally an offensive stereotype, that's different. There's a whole index over at Stereotype.
when a character in a work plays into offensive stereotypes doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. What I mean is, a character was made to play a role. But in the process they ended up being depicted with aspects that are very problematic stereotypes about an oppressed minority group. Again doesn't matter if it was intentional or not.
