    Yet she REFUSES To do any Asian Accents because she feels it is offensive. . . .
    but doing other people's accents is just good fun?

    I'm biased because I think the is a great comedic acress, but...

    considering she grew up in queens and was born in america: isn't it more of a reach for her to affect an accent of someone who grew up on the other side of the world compared to people she grew up around in her neighborhood?

    My point is. . . she finds Asian Accents offensive
    yet
    She is ok with doing this accent.

    Basically . . .. she feels it is ok to make fun of others
    but becomes protective of her own . .. .

    No idea, people change. Remember the hiccup girl who then lured some guy into a robbery, got him killed and is serving life without parole?

    That's an accent? I don't hear any difference from her other performances.

    Did she sound like that in Shang-Chi?
    I like Preach and Aba . . .they funny . .they are also comedians
    and
    Hollywood protects Hollywood
    ie. Entertainers always defend actions that they may themselves use at some point

    Honestly
    I think every black person that comes in contact with her
    should simply start talking with a bad bad bad Chinese accent
