Review of Mr. Young

Mr. Young (2011–2013)
1/10
A Teenager's Guide to Racism
10 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe this is a modern-day show geared towards kids with so many awful racist generalisations. I mean, I have a pretty irreverent sense of humour, but this is supposed to be a kids' show? Unfortunately, my daughter loves it so I have to explain to her that not all Asians talk with a thick accent, are prolific at martial arts, and all have the same last name. Dang's character is pretty much a close cousin to Mr. Yunioshi from Breakfast at Tiffany's but sadly, his character (while hugely stereotyped) is the funniest on the show. The rest of the characters are ridiculously stupid, even the main character who is supposed to be a genius. I am baffled as to how this managed to get more than a season's run.
