For cartoons, exaggeration and emphasizing is key. Even if you're drawing something really serious and detailed, don't lose the cartoon style completely. And make sure it's not a racist caricature, of course! Do a bit of research. However, you don't need to learn the rules before you break them, you can just go straight to drawing cartoons so you don't get lost in the reality phase. If you study realism too much, you'll forget how to stylize. (Thank you, LavenderTowne for this wisdom!) So just do a little bit of research to make sure it's not offensive, and you're all set.
