I guess we won't be seeing any remakes of Charlie Chan any time soon.

I always liked Charlie Chann. At least he was supposed to be Chinese. I am not sure but I think his number 1 Son who was always chasing girls, was portrayed by a Japanese instead of Chinese.

I love the old series “Zatoichi” and have been watching episodes for the last few nights. It just would not be right to have it remade by a White actor.

Actually I think they may have made one.

Hell Toler as Chan, Karloff as Mr Wong, Peter Lorre as Mr. Moto, all those movies were pulled from being broadcast because they were insensitive to Asians.

And yet no is supposed to say a word about original White characters that have been reimagined or just played by people of color, because if we do.......
