He joked that the company “sent us their most dedicated, accurate and hard working representatives,” when introducing the children posing as bankers.
Jeremy didn’t agree with the joke and took to his Twitter to share his thoughts.
“Seriously though, when is this going to change?!? Tired of it being ‘cool’ and ‘ok’ to bash Asians smh #Oscars,” Jeremy wrote.
