Dexter Episode “Easy as Pie” — Vince Masuka on Asians
3 Responses | Leave a Comment »
I just watched the latest episode of Dexter (season 3, episode 7), “Easy as Pie.” Dexter is an awesome show; it doesn’t have the depth of, say, The Wire or Deadwood, but it’s entertaining as hell, does have some things to say on morality and psychology, and boasts some great characters. One of my favorite is Vince Masuka, possibly the greatest recurring Asian character in any American TV series. He doesn’t play a huge part, but he’s always hilarious and memorable, and this season has even “humanized” him a little bit, when his feelings are hurt by everyone’s disregard for his forensics paper and presentation.
I mention this latest episode because it specifically goes into Masuka, Asians, and the media, and has some funny-ass lines about an Asian murderer “making us look bad,” and how it’s racist that Dexter thinks the killer looks like Masuka, except that, well, he does. Youtube doesn’t have a clip yet, so for now, I offer “Mikaylee’s” compilation of beautiful moments from seasons 1 and 2.

7:02 pm | Nov 12, 2008Hee, I just watched the episode last night and was going to mention the amazing Masuka monologue on why he remembered the m.o. of the killer, who entered the victim’s house in socks, not shoes.
Angel: “How do you remember that? It wasn’t even a homicide.”
Masuka: “Chung is Asian, bro. He makes us all look bad. And taking off his shoes? Can anyone get more cliche?”
Dexter: “Well he probably did it to keep quiet, or not leave shoe prints.”
Masuka: “So he leaves sock prints. Fricking moron. And Asians are supposed to be smart.” (laughs) “Fucking Albert Chung.”
