I saw the movie. The character is an insecure nerd meant to mirror Andy from the first one. There is also Lucy Liu playing a billionaire do it's not like there is only one Chinese character.

    So I watched the clip linked in the news article, and... uh... OK, the actress is Asian. So, the blatant asian stereotype is that they have asian-looking features, I guess?

    From what I can see, the character could've been played by an actress of any other complexion, leaving the dialogue and demeanor intact, and nothing would change.

    Why the fk did she pick “Jen Chow”? Sounds exactly like “Ching Chong,”

    Man, what a stretch. Cultural oversensitive to the point of ignorance, typical of twitter. Dude probably never heard of Jay Chow.
