Chinese Burn

Typical left-wing media utilizing over-used vapid stereotypical jokes pandering to their white audiences with inferior senses of humor. We all know most left-wing outlets use their front of a "world peace"/"diversity enabling"/"all welcoming" identity to push forwards their immutable underlying sense of white superiority. Imagine if someone did a show like this on white people, then suicide rates for whites would spike higher than they are now (the highest of all ethnic groups) in the west. What a damn shame that BBC finds content in baseless overused comedy from the 20th century.

Garbage like this promotes several repulsive "values": 1) Racism is OK if you target your own people.

2) Sexism is OK if it is targeted towards men.

3) Embrace your own objectification to elevate your own social worth.

If anyone thinks that any of these are acceptable "values" to live by, I pity the fool.

This is an exceedingly racist comedy. I have no idea what went through their minds when they made this show. The creators claim to be challenging stereotypes but proceed to make an entire comedy full of racist jokes for cheap laughs. No, making racist jokes for the audience and then having a comment that that's racist is not challenging stereotypes. Its perpetuating them and teaching society that racism against Asians is okay.

The writers, who are Chinese themselves, had an opportunity to educate, but instead chose to resort to using dated and offensive stereotypes and act like clowns.

They made this sort of TV in the UK back in the 1970s with programmes like Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language.

Yeah sure, they were *supposed* to be poking fun at the racists, but in reality, they just legitimised racist behaviour and language.

Deeply unfunny, and on the two occasions in this pilot episode, the addressing of a racial stereotype was swiftly followed by a *joke* containing another.

The writers have done Chinese people in the UK absolutely no favours at all with this awful programme. Personally, I'm looking forward to renewed amounts of racial abuse from complete strangers in the street just like I experienced growing up in London in the eighties.

Part of me wonders if this is just a big elaborate hoax by Chris Morris.

But then again, if it was, it would've been funny.

This TV series sets ethnic minority representation in media back about 50 years to the age of Mickey Rooney's yellowface in Breakfast at Tiffanys. The storyline and plot is unimaginative and exploits extremely racist stereotypes about Chinese men with self degrading actors for laughs. Aside from that the acting feels forced and unnatural. The show's facebook page censored and disabled all reviews because it was incredibly low, with even BBC radio show hosts pointing out the hypocritical racism in the show.
