Yeah, the recent interview with Eddie Huang and Randall Park on Joe Rogan's podcast was pretty insightful for the show. It's not like they were just in it for the pay day, there was genuine consideration and concern for portraying and representing the Asian community properly on network television.

I am happy to see it's been getting relatively good response overall (75% metacritic), and not so much white-washed cries of racism.
