All the Asians on the show are weirdly represented, and are stereotyped.

Thats if they eve get on in the first place.

The one asain doctor seems to have been replaced by a black character as well.

Damn this show really has gone downhill.

It used to be really good.

The one in the flying club was supposed to be English. It just happened that the actress had an Indian parent.

Weirdly represented, yes.....which is hardly surprising given that the show's writers seem to regard their newly diverse casts as completely interchangeable with the characters they portray (often with rather implausible results given the rural setting) but how are Asian actors/characters "stereotyped" exactly?
