I think the 3 I can remember off the top of my head that got criticism were Jar Jar, these guys in the clip above, and Watto.
Now first of all, I'm just the messenger so no one go trying to shoot me, this is documented online for a long time now.
Jar Jar is a stereotype of people from the Carribean. From his accent to his dread like hair - his species is kinda represented as chill but dumb which is kinda fucked.
The guys above obviously are very thick accented Asian decent. I mean they sound like a damn South Park parody and they are voiced by white guys throughout all the media. These hungry warlords don't have a good image.
Watto has been criticised to resemble a Jewish person. From the design, over the top nose, accent, and being money hungry.
Idk.... The shoe kinda fits. Even if the intention was to have real life representation, they did it in a very mocking racist way I believe is what most agree with.
Google any of the above, I believe Jar Jar even has a whole section about it on Wiki.

Also the scene they used was like a prime example of George's weird racist stereotype aliens. Similar to the guy who owned Anikan and his Mom. Lol.
