"Too Asian" is just a translation of Asian stereotypes which is what we, usually Asian fans, are talking about. A lot of what Sabine did in this episode have some merit to it, it's just superficial. Doing Tai Chi in that attire? Needlessly shouting out poems for her attacks? Even before this ep she apparently knows martial arts? Those are all superficial stereotypes which this show loves to play when it comes to Chinese culture. Only to have the episode end where the victims of racial violence have to be the ones apologizing

I'm not going to argue about the ending, because frankly I hated it but also I have a feeling that was largely to do with the producers and Disney being like we gotta make them make up some how and not piss off our police loving overlords, so I get it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I'm arguing that it seems hypocritical to say you want more representation, only to get it and say it's not right. What would have been right? More episodes of this? When Marinette DOES in fact live a realistic life of what it's like to be a biracial kid growing up in one country and never being able to visit the other? Did they want The Sabine show? Would they be happy if the show made Sabine say, "Time to pracitice my tai chi!" in some episode?

No, they wouldn't have. Because at the end of the day the salt fandom only serves to spread hate and find things to hate, and like I've said before: If you go into something looking to hate it, you are going find things to hate

and I am Asian and an Asian fan and have lived in different Asian countries and I swear to god this idea that there is a right way to be Asian already exists within racism among Asian countries but this just feels like gatekeeping what it means to be Asian and only when it fits the salt fandom's agenda.

It's hypocrticial bullshit that's what it is
