History
Origin of name
The website extols its users to "Wong the Web!", a reference to the practice of Wonging, often employed by card counters in Blackjack.
Controversy
Mister Wong's original logo,[3] depicting a "cartoonish, nerdy East Asian man", brought on protests from many Asian-Americans.[4] The website's creator subsequently issued an apology and removed the logo.[5]
