KoreAm Article on the Asians of Glee
This was an interesting article from an online Korean-American blog looking at Mike Chang and Tina Cohen-Chang and the look of Asian representation and the negative and positive points of writer's execution of each individual character on Glee (and briefly on TV in general). Thought it be interesting to share it here and spark some discussion.

THIIIIIIIS omg. I've been writing about this for a while. It's all over the place even with one character. Artie is treated like srs bsns, and then all the sudden it's all shits and giggles with him and football. I understand wanting to have breaks from the srs and wanting to answer to negative criticism (such as that in Dream On about the dancing thing) but it HAS to work within your universe and make sense and overall it makes the show come off as hypocritical, mean, racist, sexist, ablist, etc etc.
Kurt gets treated srs and it's great and is relevant but all this other stuff that they treat as a joke is relevant too...or prehaps not as relevant as it should be and Glee could help.
Yeah it seems like they have all these resources to use for research on all the topics they try to cover but don't seem to use them!
the stuff they do which have so much potential, they gloss over and treat it just as comedic fluff
They could do so much with Tina and Mike's relationship and with Artie too and I don't understand how there has literally been nothing yet and in its place is really cliche plotlines (like Artie being "corrupted" by Puck when he is corrupted anyway).
