Well, I highly doubt David Henry Hwang would have allowed it, so I'm thinking he probably just drifted towards caricature as the show went on. Hopefully the dialect coach came back to correct him. I certainly don't think Cole Horibe is doing this on purpose. It was just a bit unsettling. Just as some people can detect slight variances in English accents and are irritated when it's done wrong, I guess my ear is trained towards Asian accents... but then there isn't any historical baggage attached to bad English accents.
