And once again you missed the point. No one is taking issue with the actress. The issue is that a white guy is endorsing a message that stereotypes the Chinese. You need to take a sensitivity course on diversity.
^^^I see you flagged my response so I’ll try this the clean way:
“People from foreign countries speak broken English.”
Really? So does that mean Americans only speak one language (and are proud of it)? You’re stereotyping and don’t even realize it.
“Oh, wait. that was a Hollywood anti-war movie. You can’t be politically incorrect when making an anti-war movie.”
So fiction trumps reality. I can see why you’re a Republican.
“Why don’t you worry instead about your Vice-President speaking in broken English while doing Indian impersonations?”
You realize that there’s no such thing as an Indian accent right? And what does a slight pitch in tone have to do with a caucasian politician approving a message that generalizes asians as part of his campaign?
Wasn’t his money and, if he hadn’t ok’d that ad he surely would have found/created/authorized one of equal arrogance, callousness, and animosity. It’s the same thing every time. The right’s candidates run on social issues that they know will get their faithful foaming at the mouth. Then once elected they return to their old ways of cutting taxes for the ultra-rich and removing the regulations and laws that once keep them too some level of being responsible for their own actions and to the average resident of Michigan.

If she hadn’t spoken broken English, how would we have known she was from China?

Amusingly, he’s apparently getting push back because of the new Knicks player, Asian-American Jeremy Lin — sports fans are complaining!

And they STILL don’t understand why people think the GOP is full of racists…
