A screening of such films “indicates the level of disenfranchisement and disregard they hold for Asian Pacific Islanders,” said Ken Choy, a producer and community organizer in Los Angeles.

What complete and utter idiocy. If he really screened the films or read the novels upon which they are based, he would have seen that Chan is not disenfranchised OR disregarded. He is in a position of power (detective/inspector) and controls the investigation. Local police defer to him, as do hotel operators, ship's captains and the like. "It's the famous detective! How are you, Mr. Chan?"

There are characters who make racial slurs or perceive him as dim, but Chan, to his credit, lets it roll past him and often uses the false stereotype to his advantage in most cases. In other words, he rises above it. He's the hero of the series and solves the baffling case every time, for pity's sake!

If this Ken Choy actually watched these films, he didn't have a clear view because his own obsession with race was blocking the screen. Liberals make me ill.

Hey, I’m of Chinese descent, too, like Ken Choy, but my parents and I watched those old films because they were entertaining. There were far bigger problems to worry about than a bunch of movies.
