Most of Winchester's dialogue and actions smack of Frank Burns.
In particular the comment about the local Koreans learning proper English was quick obviously the kind of thing Burns would say.
Additionally, the unabashed crassness of Winchester's attitude are more than a little out of character but very much in keeping with Frank Burns.
After seeing the recent airing in syndication, and knowing this episode was filmed just a few months after the departure of Frank Burns, I'd say it's a better than even chance the script was originally written before Larry Linville decided to leave the series and a few adjustments were made so they could still use it.
