Chinese Burn

It astounds me how shows like this can see daylight in this day and age.

It's 2017, people.

Having stereotypical depictions of Asians is something that we should have grown past.

Here's what you're in for if you actually watch this hot garbage: Asian. female prostitutes. Asian male premature ejaculation jabs. Overly done fake Asian accents. Asian females vehemently refusing to date Asian men. Stereotypical submissive Asian females.

To the actors and actresses who starred in this: You should be ashamed.

Yes, all the reviews are true. It is 2017 and this is shockingly racist. However, what makes this show the most unforgivable is how BORING it was.

It was truly coma inducing. I fell asleep three times during the first episode.

The characters were bland and cookie cutter.

The plot is ham-fisted.

The production values were terrible.

It's as if the BBC just gave up.

Why did the BBC fund this? No advertiser in their right mind would be associated with it.

Awful tripe. Just awful.

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.

Ask a five year old to come up with a plot full of Asian stereotypes, and then get your local barista to direct it.

It would be 10 times better than "Chinese Burn." If lowbrow racial humor is your thing, do yourself a favor and watch White Chicks instead http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381707/

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.
