Guessing you've not read past these and seen where Huey actualls speaks to Tom about how they constantly try and play down the African American features in Jasmine?
Huey does come off a bit brash in these strips, but it plays off of how white washed Tom is. While Huey has a major disdain for most of black culture, he is still proud of his people and race, and sees Tom's somewhat denial and giving that to his daughter as well as disappointing.

Wouldn't that be more evidence of how the comic negatively portrays biracial couples, the father being like that?

I don't see it as necessarily negative or racist, but more realistic. A lot of interracial kids feel the need to go one way or the other. The denial that Tom and Jasmine seem to give off shows it a bit more strongly, and Huey's reaction to it takes it the opposite way.
It's more a satirical reflection that the middle doesn't feel like enough to some people and being forced to choose, which Jasmine has as a real struggle.

Tom fills the role of that type of black person. Isn't that the point of the comic/show, showing all types of people in their community to black people can relate to it. I mean he's probably named TOM for a reason.

I don't think anyone in the show is ever really portrayed in a good light. Jazmine is at least seen as innocent and naive instead of ignorant.
