On the most recent episode of ABC's Fresh Off the Boat, things got very real — and very meta — about the pressures of having to represent your entire race when there are barely any Asians on television.
It all starts after Louis Huang (Randall Park) gets invited to appear on a local morning show — where he decides to bust out impressions of Rocky Balboa and Donald Duck to entertain viewers.
Though the two Good Morning Orlando hosts crack up at his impersonations, Louis doesn't realize he's made a mockery of himself — and of Chinese people everywhere.
So of course, his wife Jessica Huang (Constance Wu) lets him know.
She hits him with the cold, hard facts about Asian-American representation.
She then compares Louis's performance to Sixteen Candles' Long Duk Dong.
It's a stereotype that portrays Asian men as creepy and both socially and sexually inept.
So Louis goes back on the show — but he's not happy.
And there are no jokes.
