So can we talk about @MrNigelNg’s ‘Uncle Roger’ character? Can we talk about how playing up a Chinese accent for comedic value is problematic and reinforces racist stereotypes and xenophobia?

Yeah, if you didn’t know, that’s not how he normally talks.

I built an entire TikTok persona in #yourkoreandad that is intentional and careful. I wanted to subvert stereotypes and not let myself be a caricature of a Korean man in any way. My Korean Dad persona is simply being a loving, nice dad, plus some Korean American life & identity.

Let’s let the fucked up Long Duk Dong shit stay in the past. @MrNigelNg just do the videos and get rid of the accent. Look at the master of his craft @TheKalenAllen and how he does his viral videos. You can be funny and successful without doing an accent. For real.
