Omg talk about drawing stereotypical Asian people! When master wong first appeared with his thin, line eyes (I&#8217;m not kidding, he literally has lines for eyes) I gritted my teeth and just continued reading. Sure, some Asians have small eyes, nothing wrong with that. But then Lan, Master Wong&#8217;s granddaughter also has the same damn line eyes! Like seriously bruh! You gonna draw Asians using this ancient ass stereotype? I would have deducted from the name Wong, the kung fu shop, and master Wong&#8217;s traditional Chinese outfit that he was Asian. I know it&#8217;s a kids book and people may say, don&#8217;t take it so seriously. But it&#8217;s micro aggressions like this that children who read this book will learn!
