This in turn meant that kids at school who were also Asian but didn't have parents doing that were constantly confused by him and probably made fun of him, along with some white, black, and brown kids.
This led to him having a chip on his shoulder, but he still practiced art and got damn good at it. He then got to working with his brother, who he became jealous of because his brother didn't drink the Asian Kool Aid.
Then Josh gets mad because nobody wants to let him do a Philipino superhero story, even though he keeps getting work on other things and is told he can just self publish if need be.
Finally he puts out an ultimatum, either the company publishes his work or he quits. To his surprise they don't buckle, and now he spends his day on Twitter putting out comics about how oppressed he was and how his brother stole all the credit even though it's clear all Josh can write about is how oppressed he is and how white guys steal Asian girls.
John, his brother, has pretty much distanced himself from Josh because the man no longer has a personality or an identity, he's just oppressed Asian man.
