It's disgusting what he's doing. I liken it to blackface comedy.

America needs a race to make fun of. All the other races are tapped out, taboo, or organizationally too strong to base comedy on. Terrorist jokes are getting old, so let's go back to the "goofy asian male."

yes, i don't blame him one bit for cashing in... i just don't get america's obsession

I think everyone just likes him because they perceive that it is cool to like him. If everyone just got together and came clean, we'd all be done with it. Sort of like Pink Floyd. ;)

Unfortunately William Hung only reinforces the American view of the Stereotypical Asian Male.
