MTV is truly trying to update the minstrel show aspect.
Now, they are looking for Persians, Asians and Russians to exploit.
"Looking for interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to 'Jersey Shore,' 'Real World,' 'The Hills,' etc. . ." the notice reads.
"We need attractive Asian-Americans with lively, strong and unique personalities between the ages of 18 to 30 with equally interesting life stories and perspectives to share, especially individuals who know about and/or experienced the Koreatown life."
Casting isn't limited strictly to Asian-Americans either.
"If you are not Asian but are obsessed with Asian culture or people in some way, email us and please explain," it said.

ReplyDeleteBecause of my appreciation of the Persian culture ( 3 childhood best friends, and 4 consecutive ex girlfriends, and knowledge of the language) I'm totally offended by MTV's attempts at exploitation!
