There was all this talk when Obama got elected about how we were living in a postracial world. But we're not.

You shouldn't have a white actor in what amounts to yellowface to play Asian.

I played softball at George Washington University, and then I played professionally for the Mid-Michigan Ice. I had a couple of tryouts with the U.S. Olympic Team, but I don't know if I have a word to describe how bad one of the tryouts was. It was the worst tryout in the history of tryouts. It was that bad.
