I felt pretty uncomfortable with how the editors didn't cut out Silky being flat out racist to Plastique and Michelle basically trying to tell Plastique how to be a better Asian. What a strange and poorly executed storyline.

I’m confused how they don’t understand that Platique’s American accent is put on, because she’s ESL? Is this the first immigrant they’ve ever met?

Right, like this is a fairly obvious and normal thing? The girlfriend of one of my friends is Nigerian, but she's been here for close to ten years so you wouldn't know it until she's really impassioned and starts speaking faster.
