Character Controversy

At the 88th Oscars on February 28, 2016, host Chris Rock invited three Asian children to the stage and teased them as PwC The representative of the accounting firm later mentioned in passing the issue of Asian child labor. This originally designed "joke" caused dissatisfaction among many Asian audiences, who believed that it was unnecessary to use children to "mocker" Asians at the Oscars.

Oscar judge and Hollywood veteran Chinese publicist David Magdael accompanied his client to attend the Oscar ceremony on February 28, local time. After the joke that made fun of Asians happened, he posted multiple messages on social media to express his condemnation, saying that this "joke is not funny at all."

He said that although he understood Chris Rock's various jokes about the Oscars' ethnic controversy that day, this joke mocking Asians seemed to have nothing to do with making the film industry pay attention to ethnic diversity, and most importantly, when Chris Rock finished telling A lot of people in the audience really laughed at this joke, which made people of Asian descent unhappy.

Karen Han, another famous Hollywood film scorer and erhu player who often accompanies her husband, film sound effects editor Paul Ottosson, to attend the Oscars, said that many people watching the Oscar ceremony with her also There are many people in the film industry, and everyone feels that in the eyes of Americans, Chinese people are good at math and have good grades. Many of them work in accounting. Even her own children are often ridiculed by American parents for only studying.

She believes that the stereotype mentioned by the host is a common view of Asians in the United States, but it is not necessary to use children as a joke on an occasion like the Oscars in front of a global audience. Object? She felt the ceremony producers were inconsiderate.

Many Asians in the United States have criticized this "joke" on social networks, believing that there are very few Asians showing up at the Oscars, but they are "ridiculed" when they appear on stage. The Washington Post, NBC and other media also criticized this, saying it was the "most failed" and "most embarrassing" of the host's jokes that night.

But there are also many Chinese viewers who feel there is no need to overreact. A Chinese netizen said, "The whole ceremony was making fun of ethnicity. White people and African Americans were ridiculed in all kinds of ways. As an African American, the host was merciless to his own ethnic group, saying that many African Americans were not good enough." If you don’t work hard and are not good enough, Asians don’t need to be so sensitive and should be relaxed.” Some people also said that this joke was actually meant to show that Asians, like African Americans, have experienced unfair treatment in the United States, and that it was a good intention. The purpose of having children on stage was mainly for "comedy effect."

Liu Luowen (transliteration), the editor-in-chief of the well-known online magazine Slate, published a special article protesting Locke's racially discriminatory joke: "Although the second sentence may be intended to improve the situation (employing child labor), But that still doesn’t excuse him from making fun of Asians.”

Constance Wu, the star of the American TV series “Fresh Off the Boat,” also expressed her anger on Twitter: “Let some kids come on stage. Telling some racist jokes in front of them is really crude and tasteless."

The famous NBA star Jeremy Lin also protested on Twitter. Jeremy Lin said: "Seriously, this situation. When will this change? I can no longer stand this blatant attack on Asians."
