You can't even separate art from artist here. One of the main characters in the show is a "retarded" Asian.Can a person truly change after being this level of offensively stupid? I don't think so.
A lifetime of no repercussionsSaying offensive things in the past is one thing but I can't understand how people can throw out stuff like this without thinking to themselves how terrible the things are. How can you not think twice, or thrice before hitting " send tweet"
So to no surpise at all her apology is super fake and she only wrote it to save her own skin.She blocked twitter users in the past who previously called her out on said derogatory postings.
She can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.
Because Hollywood is racist as fuck, and any corporate-driven progressivism or push for equality is often profit-motivated rather than egalitarian. People like this get as far as they do because their peers don't care.This is not the first time a "funny twitter person" got exposed for using the site in the early '10s to workshop the most shitty and offensive jokes you would find on a hack comedian's standup routine.
I really don't understand why this keeps happening. Who are these people and how are they getting to work on TV?
But she's the producer, not a writer or director.This actually casts the character of Jason Mendoza / "Jianyu" in a different and unpleasant light.
He's actually what she legit thinks of Asians. Wow.

She wouldn't have to write the dialogue herself to set the tone for the character.A show like this is written by a multitude of people. It's highly unlikely that she, individually, came up with this entire character and even wrote half of his dialogue.
Doesn't excuse how fucked up that tweet is. At least she's trying to apologize.
I do not follow her as well, but yes, the image is familiar to me too. I believe she may have been part of the early 2010's "weird twitter" surge, and had a lot of tweets go viral during that timethe weird thing is i instantly recognize this image.
why? i do not follow this person in any way, but somehow it was everywhere.
was she a much followed blogger or something as well?
Amram was a low level producer when the show started, basically a staff writer with a producer credit, she didn't create the show or the characters and she didn't set the tone, she wasn't that important.She wouldn't have to write the dialogue herself to set the tone for the character.
I'm sorry but in light of this I can't see it as a coincidence that of all the characters in this show, the Asian was selected to be the bumbling idiot.
