HBO has a new series “Angry Boys” that has comedian Christopher Lilley dressing in drag and doing some yellowface as the character Jen Okazaki. Here’s the description of the Asian mother character:
Jen Okazaki is a soft spoken Japanese wife and mother of three. She is also an ambitious tyrant. Her primary focus is her son Tim, who she trained and pushed into becoming a skateboarding champion. Although she had moved the family to America for a better life, she realizes that Tim’s career can be better promoted from Tokyo if she markets him as not only a cute Japanese boy, but also a homosexual. She builds a successful empire around “Gaystyle Enterprises”, and holds suffocating control of Tim, who is struggling to reconcile his domineering mother with the desire to be a normal teenager.
So many things wrong with this character. Where do we begin?
Part Filipino comedian/actor Rob Schneider will be on a new sitcom “Rob” on CBS. He created the comedy series , which is loosely based on his whirlwind romance and marriage to Patricia Azarcoya Arce, a TV producer from Mexico. Here’s more about the show:
“Rob” is a comedy starring Rob Schneider as a lifelong bachelor who just married into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. Rob is a successful landscape architect who, after a whirlwind romance, marries Maggie, a beautiful, smart book translator, who is way out of his league. After eloping in Las Vegas, Maggie and Rob must break the news to her overprotective, judgmental parents, Rosa and Fernando, that they are married. Shocked by news that they’ve eloped, the family remains skeptical of Maggie’s choice for a husband, with the exception of her uncle Hector, the black sheep of the family, who immediately declares himself Rob’s best friend. Rob hopes he will one day win over his new in-laws, aunts, uncles and Maggie’s Abuelita, and live happily ever after with his one true love, Maggie.
