Representation of asians

This sketch emphasises on the very rare amount of homosexual relationships within the asian community. This is shown by the sons countless efforts to hint out his sexuality but his sexuality is the last thing his parents suspect he is talking about. This could also be seen as possible ignorance or even innocence in asian parents.
A cultural stereotype arises when the boys mother asks him, "couldn't you find a nice indian boy?". This emphasises the very low rate of interracial marriages within asian families over the years.
The representation given off by this is that asians aren't quite as willing to accept homosexuality as maybe other races may be, it also shows that asians are possibly not quite ready to let their children involve themselves in interracial relationships.
