You didn't think that innocuously doughy and white Hollywood actors of the 1950s (see Rooney, Mickey; "Breakfast at Tiffany's") were the only ones who had the license to portray Japanese men as sexless, retarded doofuses, did you? Well, if you did, D-list half-Filipino Rob Schneider, who makes an appearance in the new somehow-not-straight-to-video Adam Sandler movie "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," is here to change your mind. And he adds a little spice to the mix this time: the sexless, retarded Japanese doofus is gay! And a preacher who performs same-sex ceremonies! And living in Canada! Hilarity!
Thankfully, Schneider retains the oversized glasses so his audience of knuckle draggers will know without a doubt the esteemed tradition of funloving Asian stereotyping that his performance belongs to.
Arigato, Rob-san!
