so vitriolic...so incorrect. just wanted an excuse to be angry about their own issues and made the show out to be some elitist douchey white washed rich asshole thing, when it is the opposite..which makes the author of this and so many other similiar sort of stuff...

some of the comments are pretty good with making points like "I understand your concerns, but I would like to suggest you watch the entire first season. The other thing worth noting is that the jokes come fast and many are nuanced: after the "obligatory" dong jokes, one of the character's remarks, "that got old fast" or words to that effect. I think what allowed me to enjoy the show was to keep my knee jerking in check, and allow the series to unfold before passing judgement."
Another isn't possible to tell if they are serious or not. Long rant about why there isn't representation for Arabs in the show and how the person is eventually sick of all these other minorities getting some representation but not Arabs. Of course that can be taken further and further until you have 7+ billion characters because everyone needs to feel represented and everyone is special...I prefer handicapped, actually.
"With Dong, it is a resounding yes. While he may have an accent, a "funny" name, and a knack for math, none of those things are played up as jokes at his expense (except for maybe his name a few times). But in the end, Kimmy tells others to stop making lame jokes about his name. Most important, Dong subverts the most harmful and damaging stereotype of Asian men: that they are weak (both physically and mentally) and unattractive. He not only gains Kimmy's affection, but he also fights back against Daddy's Boy for her." - Also Dong just sees Kimmy as the bad name...
