It probably feels weird because it attempts to tell Zhu's side of the story, and he still manages to come out looking bad. Investors made the right decision, it seems.
“But your replacement is Asian..”
“Oh he’s temporary, they’ll fire him too”
Edit: Since someone seemed to be irritated with my comment enough to downvote, people just with East Asian names have been known to suddenly face less discrimination once they started using non-East Asian names, or be characterized as non-East Asian after changing their names to something non-Asian.
Some notable biracial (White/East Asian) Hollywood actresses with ambiguous racial characteristics have had to change their East Asian sounding name to a white name to get roles, or non-typecast roles. For example Sandrine Ho (of House of Cards) changed her name to Sandrine Holt and suddenly got more callbacks.
