Saturday Night Live Asian American Doll Skit Seeks To Not Offend Anybody

Saturday Night Live Asian American Doll Skit Seeks To Not Offend Anybody ---

If Saturday Night Live was trying to make fun of marketers hyper sensitivity to race, they did it at the expense of Asian Americans with "Asian American Doll" who can't say anything, lives in an empty house, can't help with math, doesn't come with an Oriental rug, and ends with a gong.

Asians should demand an Asian cast member or something.

Gags:
Where is she from?
Asia
No like what country, China, Japan....
You ask a lot of questions...

I specifically said no gong...

    And so, they introduced a Barbie-like doll named “Asian-American Doll,” but placed all the liability on the consumer to give it appropriate names, hobbies, and accessories (the joke being that they “haven’t heard the end of it” since introducing a Native American doll named “Flying Eagle). When one little girl suggests naming her doll “Kiko,” the narrator said, sure, but that’s on you, little girl — we had nothing to do with that.
