Several years ago my Wife gave me the whole Have Gun Will Travel series on DVD. Oh yeah, it is also about a hired vigilante and has the word Gun in the title. LOL
A good show. I haven’t seen that one for a while, so I forgot about Hey Boy. Yep, that’s bound to trigger some people. But Chinese wouldn’t have had a high position in society at that time, so the portrayal has some accuracy. If he is a sterotype, well, all forms of TV, movies, and fiction often use stereotypes —even now—because stereotypes have foundation in reality. Every stereotype works because we are familiar with people who are like the stereotype. Any thinking person knows that not all members of a group are represented by the stereotype.
