oh heck no
I don't care if this was supposed to be funny, or a critique of the ways that Asians and Asian Americans are seen in the United States. I really don't care. Sometimes, satire doesn't work. And other times, arousing humor is not the best way to begin what needs to be a very serious discussion about race and gender politics.

Don't even get me started on the out of sync dancing, sexual innuendo or the Model Minority Myth allusions. This is not funny, it's reprehensible.
