I also find this irritating. I also dislike when an oriental character is supposed to speak flawless English and the narrator does the voice with a supposed oriental accent. I suppose they think I will not remember that the character is oriental unless they do the fake 1930's oriental accent. The accent usually reminds me of Charlie Chan movies. If they are going to do an oriental accent, they could at the least, listen to real oriental accents and try to mimic them.
