There are pretty much no sitcoms featuring Hispanic or Asian people. As in, "No--you're just not interesting enough. Hispanics? Asians? No. What we need is five more seasons of According to Jim."
That’s an insult right there. According to Jim ran for 8 seasons, but According to Ling Tang or According to Paco didn’t make it past stage one. I’ll bet Asians hate Jim Belushi. And non-Asians. Non-Asians hate him, too. I like him, though. But he should seriously consider adding an Asian sidekick. Not just on TV. In real life.
Asians can’t even get a side character on a sitcom. They can’t even get a cooky neighbor who does Kung Fu and eats snakes and dogs. Just imagine that neighbor on Friends. Just imagine Ross--who’s a paleontologist--coming across his crazy Asian neighbor. [Neighbor:] “Oh--you study dinosaurs.” [Ross:] “Yeah.” [Neighbor:] “Dinosaurs must taste very good.” [Ross:] “Uh--they’re extinct.” [Neighbor:] “Yes--but if they were alive, they would taste good.”
That should be in the Friends movie remake. I’ll start working on a script. And yes--one of the Friends will be waterboarded. At least one of them.
