Why oriental Twins, specially as "bad guys" are a comon trope?

'Cause them honkys be racist.

Seriously, I think it's because when you want to come up with a creepy villain, people often rely on stereotypes: two of which being that twins are creepy and that Asians are bizarre and creepy.

I thought it was because "Siamese twins" is a commonly known term, and when you put a pair of eastern twins together it technically qualifies as a pun, albeit a rather weaksauce one.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a subtle animator's homage to a certain Lady And The Tramp song.

I doubt Disney necessarily invented that song, but they certainly popularized its presence in animation.
