The controversy wasn't because they were from Asian countries it was because TanBA and Gao Lin & Xiu Lin were both professional acts with professional careers prior to the show and Simon didn't want BGT to be overrun with, what he called "Second Chance Charlies." I'm wondering if that mentality is also spreading to AGT, too, because he didn't seem too pleased with Puddles Pity Party (a professional act) by the end of his run, either.
