not another racist movie

A couple of keen readers spotted this on a casting website, a call for an Asian character in an upcoming spoof comedy, Not Another Underdog Story. And it sounds really, really, really bad:
Union Status SAG
Rate Meals

Submissions Due By 2/7/2008
Director TBD
Producer Alejandro Salomon
Production Company Takito Productions / Open Window Productions

Submission Due By Note
NO AGENTS OR MANAGERS PLEASE

Synopsis
NOT ANOTHER UNDERDOG STORY is a parody of the entire Rocky saga, The 40 Year Old Virgin, The Girl Next Door, The Pursuit of Hapyness, and more. Even though it's a parody, it is written more in the style of movies like superbad and knocked up.

Project Notes
This is only for a table read. We encourage SAG actors to read because the movie will be under a SAG contract, but if you are a non union actor feel free to submit yourself too.
NO PAY, only meals, and a chance to get to know the producers of the movie.
Some characters may be casted off the reading.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH OFFENSIVE MATERIAL PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT

CHINK / SAG / Lead / Male / Asian / 20-40
Chink is an evil man. Has the mentality of a selfish and disrespectful human being. His number 1 priority is getting his money for crack. Very short and skinny. ALSO: If you have a prolem with OFFENSIVE material please do not submit.
Rate: MEALS/TABLEREAD
No good can possibly come out of this. It obviously intends to be offensive. I mean, the dude's name is Chink. Good Lord, I hope nobody submits for this. That's racist!
