I absolutely love your show. I tried to get my friend to watch it, but he objects to the fact that Diane is played by Alison Brie rather than a Vietnamese actress. I argued that A. This is an absurd cartoon, and Will Arnett isn't a horse-person either and B. Diane's race isn't a defining characteristic of the character so much as the basis of the occasional fun gag (i.e. the juxtaposition of her race and her family's status as bigoted Boston Massholes). As a result, it makes sense to cast an actress best equipped to portray her real defining characteristic - her personality.

Dude wouldn't buy it though - how would you respond to this concern?

How are you and Bobby Lee getting along these days?

EDIT: PS, really loved your ep of You Made it Weird
