I can imagine how next time when they have a man with a Chinese last name on stage present Chinese language UI sensibilities, you will exclaim “Why not a Chinese woman, dammit?”. Then they’ll get a woman. “Why so young? Where is respect for the elders? Totally ageist.” They’ll bring on an elderly Chinese woman. “But why does she have her hair dyed blond? It flies in the face of our collective struggle to accept Chinese authenticity in the West!”

And so on and so forth, until someone wins the “oppression olympics”, that, of course, if it’s even possible.
