Line 63:
** Amazingly, of all people, ''Cotton'' gets his ethnicity right. This may have something to do with the fact that Cotton served in the Pacific Theatre of [[World War II]], and thus had some actual exposure to the peoples of the region. Also, in a later episode, Kahn tries to earn membership to an Asian-American country club, but needs to get Hank to join as well (the club is looking for a "token white guy" in order to deflect accusations of racism). At one point, Hank asks Kahn to translate what a few of the members are saying, with Kahn responding "They're speaking Chinese. Do I ''look'' Chinese to you?!". Hank just stares back with a poker face.
* Parodied on an episode of ''[[Catscratch]]'', where neither Mr. Blick nor Gordon can apparently tell the difference between China and Japan, in spite of claiming to have always wanted to visit China.

'''Waffle:''' That's Japan.
'''Mr. Blick:''' Land of cherry trees.
'''Waffle:''' ...''That's still Japan.''
'''Mr. Blick:''' Ah, China. }}
** Of course, it is worth noting that cherry blossoms are in fact indigenous to other Asian countries - including China.
