Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can easily see how it would be offensive that a universe where Chinese appears to be nearly as common as English (language, culture, clothing) there are no Chinese cast members, not even as minor characters. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed Firefly, and still watch it occasionally, but I can see how that could be offensive. It's certainly something that doesn't go unnoticed, even by a fan of the show. I still choose to love it because of other aspects, but I have to say it does take away from it.

What happens if Momo starts making more than Marigold? :O

I just assumed that, much like today, the mentality and culture of people can be very divisive. Do we really know that much about Firefly's universe beyond the shady bits that were explored in the very FEW episodes that exist?
As per Firefly sucking for any particular reason at all, I'm happy to disagree. I was thoroughly entertained.

Marigold gets some use out of her expensive friend? Momo is a robot who can work 24/7 efficiently, she should be making more than Marigold.

Try getting out more?

It was 16 years ago, but the distaste lingers.
