Yang is probably right to find the script disrespectful and see the biopic just being a recirculation of making Hung a target to laugh at.

But that conversation dwelling into Hung's intellectual capacitance and postulated handicap (and that was driven more by Rogan) was uncalled for. I get Rogan's point was to shed light on how American Idol was being exploitive, though. That conversation could've been better-phrased, because if anyone "set Asians back 10 years", it was American Idol, not Hung.

Yang was probably also indulging in the resentment that he wasn't offered the role of a more prominent Asian figure. There is a bit of self-ceremony here with him going out of his way to talk about this that is hard to explain as it sounds like a particular generalization, but if you know what I'm talking about....
