Minorities in Hollywood: You've come a long way,tender sex video even if it doesn't feel like it. Actor Kal Penn found some of his old audition scripts, and the snippets he shared of accented or stereotypical South Asian roles would not survive today's scrutiny. Or at least would get the social media flogging they deserve.
The entertainment industry still has a lot to fix when it comes to minority representation (ahem, Ghost in the Shell), but Penn's tweets show that things have -- somewhat -- improved.

A role on the short-lived Smart Guy, starring Tahj Mowry as a 10-year-old in high school, was for a foreign student whose few lines reference child labor and abduction. Oh, and he has a long, difficult name, just for laughs.

One commercial called for a character in a "perpetual state of perspiration" for which Penn had to apply Vaseline to his face on set. And who can resist a dung reference?

South Asian representation has increased and improved exponentially since the scripts Penn shared, but as Aziz Ansari pointed out in the damning Master of Noneepisode "Indians on TV," plenty of auditions still pigeonhole actors into stereotypical roles. Luckily, Penn's current role as White House Press Secretary Seth Wright on Designated Survivorshows quite the progression.
