【telefondan porno izlemek】‘SNL’ Skit Demonstrates Lack of Representation

It seemed innocuous enough —?Chris Pine, who hosted NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” on May 6, played William Shatner playing Capt. Kirk in a sketch about a “lost episode” of the original “Star Trek.”

But what stood out for Vanity Fair, You Offend Me, You Offend My Family (YOMYOMF) and other online observers was the fact that Sulu (played by George Takei in the original series and John Cho in the last three movies) was portrayed by Akira Yoshimura, who is not an actor but the show’s longtime production designer. Yoshimura also played Sulu in 1976, during the show’s first season, in a “Star Trek” sketch with John Belushi as Kirk, and reprised the role in 1986 (opposite Shatner as Kirk) and 1994 (opposite Patrick Stewart, Capt. Picard from “Star Trek: The Next Generation”).

In her May 7 Vanity Fairarticle, Joanna Robinson said the latest sketch underscores “the depressing fact that four decades into its run, ‘SNL’ has never employed a full-time Asian cast member. (Rob Schneider is a quarter Filipino and Fred Armisen a quarter Japanese.) And you can count the number of Asian hosts ‘SNL’ has had in the past four decades on one hand: Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Aziz Ansari.

“It’s a deficiency the show itself addressed last fall when new cast member Melissa Villase?or appeared in a sketch about the 2016 vice-presidential debate. ‘Hello, I’m the new Hispanic cast member,’ she said in a fourth-wall-breaking moment, ‘and I’ll be playing Asian moderator Elaine Quijano. Because baby steps.’”

Pacific Islanders have had some representation. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who is half Samoan, has hosted five times, including this year’s season finale.

“SNL” has been criticized in the past for having white actors play Asian characters. In the late 1980s, cast member Dana Carvey was taken to task for portraying a stereotypical Chinese character, Ching Chang, who spoke with an accent, wore thick glasses, and was emotionally attached to the live chickens he sold.

In 2012, Armisen, Cecily Strong and Nasim Pedrad played Chinese iPhone factory workers, with thick accents, black wigs, and one character’s Coke-bottle glasses.

Robinson pointed out that “SNL” could not satirize the recent “whitewashing” controversies surrounding such movies as “Ghost in the Shell” because “you can’t mock the thing you yourself are guilty of.”

In 2015, comedian and actress Margaret Cho criticized “SNL” for its lack of Asian representation and for allowing Donald Trump, “a known racist,” to host the show.

Cho told The Wrap, “People come at me and say, ‘Oh, Fred Armisen is a quarter Japanese, Rob Schneider is half Filipino.’ Yeah, that makes three-quarters of an Asian American, not even in one person, in 41 years.”

She suggested Takei or Ken Jeong (“Dr. Ken”) as possible hosts, and herself as a musical guest.

There has been an online campaign to have Takei host the show, but to no avail.

YOMYOMF blogger Philip wrote that the latest “Star Trek” sketch shows that “‘SNL’ is long overdue in having at least one Asian cast member in its ranks. It’s 2017 – it’d be nice if ‘SNL’ could finally go where pretty much all others have already gone at this point and acknowledge that Asians and Asian Americans are as much a part of the American pop culture landscape as everyone else.”

Fox’s African American-oriented sketch comedy show “In Living Color” added Steve Park (“Do the Right Thing”) to its cast in 1991 and 1992. Being the only Asian American cast member, he ended up playing any Asian character, male or female, including Connie Chung.

From 2001 to 2009, Fox’s “MAD TV” featured comedian Bobby Lee (“A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas”), who played such characters as Kim Jong-Il, Connie Chung, the Blind Kung Fu Master, and Hideki the Average Asian. Cast member Alex Borstein (“Family Guy”) received some criticism for her portrayal of Ms. Swan, an Asian woman.
