The problem wasn't that the Chinese criminals were criminals in a show about investigating criminals, nor that with three episodes they didn't get around to showing perfectly normal Chinese people (it's like complaining that the gay guy turned out to a bad guy).

When people complain about the second episode, it's more about the other stereotypes that I don't recall since it's been a while. Someone said something about ~spouting proverbial wisdom while demurely pouring tea~, and I think that's pretty close to the actual problem.

If I watched the episode, I probably would've picked that up. The stereotypes bother the hell out of me too. Alas! But yeah, I get what you mean. If the only gay character in a show turned out to be the bad guy, I'd be pretty leery about it too...

I don't understand why people are trying to excuse it, though. You're (general you, not you-anon) allowed to like Sherlock! It would just be nice if you acknowledged that those segments are racist instead of trying to write them off or justify them. Holy shit, guys? Ignorance sucks and is never justifiable.
