Flippyshark has it right. The controversy not really about any overt stereotypes. It's about the fact that the movie glosses over the struggle that blacks still had, even post-slavery. It made it look like these farm hands were just living it up, completely happy with their simple life. And of course, that's far from the truth. But if every movie that didn't portray reality correctly were pulled, there wouldn't be a whole lot to watch.
