By Meghan Keneally The creators of How I Met Your Mother have apologized for having three characters dress up in 'yellowface' and wear stereotypical Asian costumes for a fantasy sequence. In keeping with one of the show's long plot lines of prepping a 'perfect' slap, one of the characters sought advice from three wise 'slap masters' who were Asian variations of three of the main characters. The show creators issued an apology on Wednesday via Twitter, acknowledging their misjudgement and urging viewers to see the mistake as an unintentional one.
