Oh I don't think it's racist either (probably didn't make that clear in the OP) - what I mean is, if we're going to label anything as Politically Incorrect/Racist etc - surely it would be referring to an Asian housemate as 'Mr Chow.'

I don't find it offensive - but people could argue that it's prejudice and we're saying Dexter looks the same as all Asians. (A common stereotype that's threw about is that all Asians are identical).

I just think it's hilarious how they can give Jemima a warning for not going for Black guys, when they can publicly brand Dexter as 'Mr Chow' - because if anything is going to 'offend some viewers at home' it would certainly be that.
