The Chinese Embassy is demanding an apology from a Spanish television station for broadcasting a comedy sketch which featured a Chinese waiter portrayed by an actor in yellow face and with scotch tape over his eyes, reports The Telegraph.
“In the show titled Mesa para Dos [Table for Two], a clown wearing strange ‘Chinese clothes’ jumped up and down, making all sorts of exaggerated gestures,” the Embassy wrote in a letter.
“What’s more, the other actors openly insulted Chinese people using words so vulgar it would make any educated person blush…it has already hurt the feelings of Chinese people in Spain and Chinese people around the world. This is an undeniable fact,”
The picture of the waiter reminds me of the character played by Micky Rooney at Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
