Social justice warriors today would go ape $#!+ over David Carradine playing Qui Chang Caine.

I believe the role was originally written for Bruce Lee, due to his "Kato" role in "The Green Hornet."

You're correct, according to the film Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Bruce Lee co-created the idea for Kung Fu and was hoping to get the part, but they gave it to some white actor instead. 'Cause this is America, dammit.
