Yes, they know. They will never admit it for very obvious reasons and just keep going. The mother fucker could start doing a British accent and it would probably sound better. Also calling it now Joseph is going to fuck Mihn.

Given that the whole racial voice acting thing is a Disney mandate, the fact that they only had him in one episode and have him and Minh divorced as well as the meta-commentary in episode 3, I'm going to say they're aware.

Which is funny because the third episode of the season seemed to mocked the entire concept of authenticity. >Bobby has a German-Japanese fusion restaurant which he claims to be authentic >The one supplier of binchotan won't sell to Bobby because he's not Japanese >The supplier turns out to be a Japanese national but an adopted black man >The guy claims Chane being involved with the business isn't good enough, because Laotians aren't Japanese nor should they be considered equivalent because they're asian >A bunch of white guys show up at the restaurant claiming Bobby is appropriating their culture because he's not German >In the end Bobby invites all these guys to eat his food, which he finally admits isn't authentic in any ethnic sense but it is what he likes to cook >Because everyone liked the food, they're willing to let the authenticity thing go
Do you think the episode was written as disguised criticism of the mandated recasts?
>>150024881 >Bobby has a commie struggle session where he admits fault
Sounds like they're taking the side of mandated recasts. Could be your summary is shit and this isn't the case (haven't seen the episode) but it sure seems like it.

It was a poor description. He says it isn't authentic german or authentic japanese robata grill, but that it is a fusion of the what he loves about both using the traditional techniques and ingredients of each and that's what makes it "authentic Bobby Hill".

The episode also has Bobby comment that if Mel Blanc were alive today he wouldn’t be allowed to do the voice of Speedy Gonzales. One of the characters he’s saying it to is Joseph, another mandated recast.

It's so fucking ironic that the third episode calls out that it is racist to just lump all asians together as a people then this show literally casts two chinese dudes to replace the previous actors to play Laotions. I don't know how the production staff didn't see the retarded irony of their actions when they called that shit out.

I dunno man, I've went to panel with James Wong and does pretty convincing heavily accented Swedish.
I mean I don't get why having an "authentic" ethnic background means anything. I remember Mako and Dante Basco in same movie as Grandfather and Grandson. Mako was Japanese and Dante was Filipino.
>>150024881 >goes out of his way to be as authentic with Japanese and German cooking styles as is physically possible >shows up both Krauts and Tojos at thier own game
Cotton would've gotten a kick out of this is he were still alive, I swear
>>150025862 >Bobby has a commie struggle session where he admits fault
You mean where he shows all the retards that he’s doing his own thing and it’s better than their bullshit?

I honestly can't decide if Ted or Kahn's new VA is the worst one. On one hand, Ted's new VA just completely fails to understand the joke about Ted's original voice, while Kahn's new VA is just straight up terrible at acting. Joseph's is alright though.
