Mr Wong (cartoon character)
- Mr Wong (cartoon character)
Mr Wong is an internet phenomenon which debuted in 2000 and lasted 14 episodes. It features the adventures of a racial stereotype of an Asian American who is a butler for a wealthy socialite WASP named Ms Pam. It has developed a cult following whilst being hosted on the website Icebox.com, which also features independently-made cartoons such as Queer Duck. But the cartoon has drawn fierce criticisms from the Asian American community for being racist.
Mr Wong's creators, Pam Brady and Kyle McCulloch, also write for the popular television show "South Park". The show was so popular that it was released on DVD and also a movie version.
