Why’d you think he eats so many cookies?” However, Colbert noted that Ji-Young won’t just get to relax and play with her new friends. The hope is that the seven-year-old will also help counter anti-Asian racism, which has notably increased amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. “That’s great,” said Colbert. “But is it just me, or are we giving some Muppets more responsibility than other Muppets? ‘Okay folks, bring it in here, I got your assignments. You be grumpy in a trash can, you count everything you see, and you solve systemic racism.'” Once again, Muppets of colour are left to do the heavy lifting.
