9 Times the 2016 Emmys Celebrated Diversity

Alan and Aziz took home an outstanding writing for a comedy series win for their "Parents" episode in Master of None, which is all about their parents' struggle as immigrants in America. Although Aziz wasn't able to get a word in since they were confusingly played off, Alan didn't hold back with his speech. "Seventeen million Asian-Americans in this country, and there are 17 million Italian-Americans. They have The Godfather, Goodfellas, Rocky, The Sopranos; we got Long Duk Dong," he said, referencing the quirky character in Sixteen Candles. "So we got a long way to go, but I know we can get there. I believe in us, it's just gonna take a lot of hard work. Asian parents out there — if you could do me a favor — just a couple of you get your kids cameras instead of violins, we'll be all good."
