#HowIMetYourRacism

  In the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother controversy strikes in, entiitled "Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra," the episode began with, Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) and Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), seated in a bar as Marshall explains how he undergo a yearlong training in Shanghai, China to learn how to properly deliver a slap to Barney Stinson with the technique "The slap of thousand exploding sun".

              

  The show then included three "masters" -- played by cast members Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders and Josh Radnor - who taught him the art of the epic slap "speed,strength,accuracy". The episode was so offensive and called the attention of some asian community/people that and used the #HowIMetYourRacism hashtag in twitter to show their anger.

        How I Met Your Mother Co-Creator Carter Bays apologized and tweet:

 With Monday's episode, we set out to make a silly and unabashedly immature homage to Kung Fu movies, a genre we’ve always loved.—  @CarterBays January 15, 2014.

But along the way we offended people. We're deeply sorry, and we’re grateful to everyone who spoke up to make us aware of it.— @CarterBays January 15, 2014.

          Also Bays Co-Creator, Executive Producer of How I Met Your Mother Craig Thomas support Bays tweet:

I second everything @carterbays just tweeted — we love all #HIMYM fans and apologize that we caused offense. @HimymCraig January 15, 2014.

            

         In my opinion i see no racism as i watched the whole episode (again this is my opinion), many other shows such as Family Guy are even more "racist" to the viewers. Onn a side note there are tons of asian parodies and Kung Fu gags in the internet. Those people start the #HowIMetYourRacism hashtag on twitter and other social media are somehow OA (Over-Acting).

         The show does feature Asians as major characters - a Filipina actress, Ellen D. Williams, who is also a "person of size" playing Patrice, Robin's co-worker. Patrice also had a long-running romance with Barney Stinson, and both Ted and Barney go on dates with Asian women.

Sometimes a TV show is just a TV show.
