    As an Asian person, there’s not much I hate more than jokes about Asian names or accents. Not even because it’s racist and offensive, but it’s just so cheap and hacky. On the other hand, when someone laughs at those jokes, I know that’s a person I want nothing to do with ever.

      Yep. I feel like a good joke needs a bit more effort than just saying “chin chong”. Like, it is a foreign language that has developed in a completely different part of the world, of course it will sound weird to you!
