Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! What better way to celebrate than with the spectacular ladies from the Add To Cart podcast, journalist and MTV News pioneer SuChin Pak and writer and actress Kulap Vilaysack who was but a young ingenue when she was featured in the "A Benihana Christmas" episode of The Office -- which we dive DEEP into for this ep of Problematic Fave. Vilaysack talks about her experience being involved this very divisive episode which stepped back into the spotlight when her co-star in the ep Kat Ahn talked about it. There is a lot to this episode so get yourself ready for three aunties talking shop about a problematic episode that includes very bad Asian representation of a beloved TV series during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!
