      If you don't know the story he walked into the audition and didn't speak a word of English, he was imitating one of his Korean friends. After the audition was over he thanked the casting director in perfect English. He's been quoted as saying he understands why people hate the characters but that he finds himself loving the character at the same time as hating it. It's only racist if you take it that way. How many Asian people have acted how he has or spoke broken English like that character? I've known some so he was acting like I've seen some others act in real life. That doesn't make a portrayal of how someone acts in real life racist.

          Yeah sure, let's make black people act like criminals and live in poor families since there are actual black people who live like that in reality. Oh wait, that's not racist. It's only racist if you take it that way.
          That's really easy for you to say cuz you're not part of the group that's being targeted, dumb fvck.
          The problem with Hollywood is
          MAJORITY
          of the times when they do show Asian men, they make Asian men look like awkward nerds, which is called a stereotype. You're probably going to use that retarded argument
          "well stereotypes exist for a reason"
          . Yeah, stereotypes exist because narrow minded morons generalize a group of people who they know nothing about. Stereotypes aren't facts. It makes the whole group look dumb, that's why people hate how the Asian guy in this movie was portrayed.

                we didn't have SJWs and safe spaces and leftist persecution then.
                Also, when he auditioned he talked like he does on the movie and they really thought he could not speak english

                  Did you ever stop to think that a big part of the reason "leftists" rag on idiots like you is that you're always ragging on us? Of course you didn't. You're an idiot.

                      You don't have to be Asian to accept a role that is stereotypical in nature. There are lots of people out there. Be a little more open.

                          Because he was paid to play that role, you stupid asshole.
                          You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
