Lenny was about 20 or 21 years old when this was broadcast. The other Tiswas regulars were all at least a decade older (excepting Sally James, who was about eight years older than him). A sketch, probably written by a white guy, about a Chinese man doing a joke about a West Indian, and culminating in a spoof of the Stephen Foster minstrel song 'Campdown Races' (in itself a deeply racist song in it's crude imitation of how black americans spoke in Foster's day) may come over as cringey in the 21st century, but it was a different age back then. Kids around 1980/81 for the most part weren't as worldly-wise as they now are (or think they are at least), so the 'offensive' nature of this skit would probably have gone over their heads. Quite apart from that, Lenny was still in the early stages of his career, and had he refused to do this stuff, might have got that old showbiz reputation of being 'difficult' which could lead to work drying up.

Nearly every accusation of racism is directed at one specific racial demograhic and that demographic is probably the least racist on the planet. The is usually done to close down conversation and debate about the negative impact of mass immigration. This a great example of how certain people from other racial demographics are excused that label. Truly vile racial mockery from LH here.
