After the first episode added so many female characters--including two black female characters (two!)--I was really gobsmacked at the casual Orientalism in the second. It reminds me of Doctor Who's "Turn Left," actually, with that caricature of an Asian fortune teller. Is racism aimed at Asians not recognized in the UK or something?
