Never heard of these guys nor have I watched the podcast in question but if they just mimic accents I’d give em a pass. If a foreign comic mimicked the old fashioned English cut glass accent I wouldn’t find it offensive although undoubtedly some fucking snowflake somewhere would.Stupidity isn’t an excuse for ignorance, bigotry or racial stereotyping.
People wouldn’t dare imitate a shite Chinese accent to a person of that country’s origin, so why is it acceptable to broadcast to the world on a podcast? The obvious connections city have with the Chinese and Spanish just adds to their idiocy.
At the very least, Mah Mah Ling is voiced by Amy HIll, a Japanese-American voice actress. That's not exactly a defence of the character or the way she's written - it's still a problem when [x]-American actors are forced to fake the accent of their "homeland" - but her existence in the show is, if anything, a sign of how attitudes towards characters of her type have changed over the years.
