Fox TV newest, racist TV show

Is "Dads" the Year's Most Racist Sitcom?

In the pilot episode, the main characters (played by Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi) insist that Veronica dress up like a "sexy Asian schoolgirl"—one who giggles like a Japanese teenage stereotype—in order to impress a group of Chinese investors. Chinese people are mocked and declared untrustworthy. The "Asian men have tiny dicks" stereotype is gleefully deployed. The term "Oriental" is used because…funny. And it doesn't help that Dads co-creator Alec Sulkin once tweeted, "If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, google 'Pearl Harbor death toll.'" Sulkin sent this tweet on March 11, 2011, the day a tsunami struck Japan and killed thousands. None of the victims, Japanese or otherwise, was ever implicated in the plot to bomb Americans in the 1940s. (Sulkin soon deleted the comment and apologized via tweet.)

Well... here's one more reason to add my list of "Why I won't watch Fox TV."

They are just presenting racist stereotypes to ridicule the people who think that way?

And Japanese School Girls is just to get old guys in America watching. (What day it is on?)

Isn't enough just to say you read some motherjones and now you are pissed (as if there was another option).

Walter, you are a TV brand bigot. These are not individuals, they are groups of people.

I don't have TV reception of any sorts... antenna or satellite. I can't even watch this show. So I can't be a TV brand bigot... there... I said it.

I was actually planning to watch this show. I like Seth Green's Robot Chicken.
W,
Someone who earns income from live theater choosing to not view TV? Interesting.
Just kidding, our place has no TV, used to get Sterling, but now nothing.
