People really think that the second episode was racist, because it depicted a group of Chinese smugglers? Really? I mean, it's not like they were saying all Chinese people are criminals... Are they also trying to say that the police are all stupid, or that all cabbies are serial killers, or that all geniuses shoot at walls or blow shit up when they get bored?

And as for Soo Lin pouring tea and spouting proverbial wisdom, like another anon said- the guy that tried to ask her out told Sherlock and Watson that it was a show for the tourists. It's safe to assume that it was made to be ~~oriental~~ and all that.

It's not the fact that the smugglers were Chinese, that's fine. But the whole thing was just a mess of orientalism and lazy tropes. I could have overlooked the stereotyped way Soo Lin was portrayed for the reasons you suggest if it weren't for the way they filmed the rest of it (the dramatic cuts in Chinatown because all Chinese people are sinister and Other!) As it is, I'm not buying it.

I mean, I loved the other two episodes, and I'm excited about the new series, but that doesn't stop me seeing the epic race fail in TBB. Which, incidentally, is connected to the wider problems of that episode, because it was all just lazy and ill-considered.
