Regarding racism in Glee

Thanks for those cool links Toby!

I do have one addendum. While I agree that certain minority characters are given overtly stereotyped characteristics (Mercedes, Kurt), I haven't actually come across any instances in which the character of Tina has been explicitly racialized as Asian or Asian-American. If I missed something, please let me know.

According to Wikipedia the actress who plays Tina, Jenna Ushkowitz, was adopted from Korea as a baby. So I wonder how her personal experience as a transnational adoptee has affected the politics of representing Tina...
