"Fox has refused to reshoot scenes from its new comedy Dads that were branded racist by a media watchdog. The Media Action Network for Asian Americans previously accused the Seth Green sitcom of employing &amp;quot;racially insensitive jokes&amp;quot;.  The pilot episode features a reference to &amp;quot;Orientals&amp;quot; and a scene in which actress Brenda Song - an American of mixed Vietnamese and Thai heritage - dresses in a revealing schoolgirl outfit to impress Chinese businessmen. Fox has now declined to reshoot or remove the schoolgirl scene, Deadline reports. &amp;quot;You will see [in future episodes] that Brenda Song&amp;#039;s character is a strong, intelligent, empowered young woman who... almost always gets the upper hand,&amp;quot; the network said in a statement. &amp;quot;Dads is a show that will be evocative and will poke fun at stereotypes and bigotries - sometimes through over-the-top, ridiculous situations.&amp;quot; Dads stars Green and Giovanni Ribisi as two young video game developers whose lives suddenly change when their fathers move in with them. The series is executive produced by Family Guy&amp;#039;s Seth MacFarlane and his Ted co-writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. &amp;gt; Family Guy&amp;#039;s Seth Green reunites with Seth MacFarlane on Fox sitcom Watch a promo for Dads below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
