So... is it offensive than an Asian American portrayed a broken English Asian?

Has America fallen off the wagon that much that we can cancel the dead?

How do you mean specifically?

It's more on the people who said "I can get you in a movie, but your character needs to have broken English." And considering the views of Hollywood on Asians, I'm pretty confident it had more to do with a shallow caricature of Asians than anything else.

If he was comfortable with that, cool, but knowing the hoops Asians have had to jump through to get roles it's actually pretty fucked up if that was specifically required.
