The famous Chinese Christian NBA Charlotte Hornets' Jeremy Lin was not very pleased with Chris Rocks' Academy Awards comedy act involving the three Asian children who were supposedly the representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers which is the financial firm responsible for tracking Oscar votings.
Just today, Tuesday, Lin retweeted the post of Washington Post saying ""If the Oscars were all about diversity, why the crude Asian joke?"
Seriously though, when is this going to change?!? Tired of it being "cool" and "ok" to bash Asians smh #Oscars https://t.co/1nBvAd3V0q

The 27-year-old NBA player wrote along with the retweet ""Seriously though, when is this going to change?!? Tired of it being "cool" and "ok" to bash Asians smh ?#?Oscars?"
In Rock's comical skit, the Oscars' host brought out three Asian kids introducing them by first saying " "They sent us their most dedicated, accurate and hard working representatives. Please welcome Ming Zhu, Bao Ling and David Moskowitz."
"If anybody's upset about that joke, just tweet about it on your phone that was also made by these kids," Rock said, who is obviously making his child labor joke with the statement.
Rock, who reportedy spent his night bashing about the nominations of Oscars for its lacking in diversity received negative reactions on social media about the skit and other things.
