There are a lot of comedians who's jokes are based around racial stereotypes, but I am not sure how Sarah Jones' performance could be construed as racist. She does not even touch on any stereotypes associated with each race. She is touching on the cultural and racial melting pot that is New York City. I think this is genius.

Actually, I think that's the point of the Chinese character. She mentions that she did not have the same freedoms in China that she wishes her children to have. And she's obviously trying to accept her children's relationships, which are far removed from her dreams that were shaped by her own perceptions or tradition. She is a character who symbolizes hope and yet remains credible because she is struggling.

We don't have to agree on everything but love is grown as is trust and not given freely but respect of one's difference should always be given first unless it threatens us directly and NOT just the perceived threat. That is of course my humble

She does address difficult topics, and seems to do it unimpeachably all the time. If I recall right, the Mumbai show was about post-9/11 America and the "anchor" character was a Pakistani man. It was funny, sweet and thought provoking. She is very careful to provoke thought but not anger. I love Sarah Jones!
