The nonsense Asian American actors have to deal with...

"If you can't speak Chinese then use broken English."



So here's some everyday Hollywood wackness.

This photo was taken at a commercial audition that was held on Wednesday. Actors were given no explanation of the scenario, or what the commercial was for, but as you can see, there's a lot of Asian-y nonsense.

The scene: a busy Chinatown noodle house. Actors were instructed to translate the lines into Mandarin or Cantonese -- but if you couldn't speak Chinese, then saying the lines in broken English would suffice. Why do I get the strong sense that this was not written by anyone who is familiar with the nuances of Chinese cuisine?
