"2 Broke Girls" seek a "hot asian guy" -- and no, this isn't a casting call for an adult film.
Courtesy of Angry Asian Man, CBS's "2 Broke Girls" casting call reads:
2 BROKE GIRLS, Episode #118, "And the Full Disclosure" Episodic 1/2 hour multi-camera CBS / Bonanza Productions AFTRA
[EDWIN] 22-32. A hot Asian guy, he is the web designer for the girls' cupcake site. Clearly, he and Caroline have a thing for each other, and after hours at the restaurant, things quickly heat up between the two... GUEST STAR/CO STAR
Perhaps the new character "EDWIN" is an attempt to defend the show against accusations of racism over the series' single Asian character, Han Lee. Played by Matthew Moy, the character is a short, emasculated nerd with no chance in hell of being taken seriously. Also, the fact that he speaks English with an accent seems to be a joke in and of itself. The Hollywood Reporter doesn't mince words about the Han Lee character: "... what CBS is doing every Monday night is trotting out one of the most regressive and stunning racist devices a network has produced in five or more seasons."
