"Better call Charlie Chan."

Back on June 27, 2008, Fox Movie Channel banned Charlie Chan movies, after complains from Asian American groups that the fictional Chinese detective was portrayed in the movies as a racially offensive stereotype. They lifted their ban and restarted airing the films on September 13, 2008. Quote from article: "To mollify Asian American groups, the network will feature 'a panel of prominent Asian Americans representing film history, sociology, authors and actors' who will 'address racial stereotypes, the casting of non-Asians in Asiatic roles and race relations in America' before each of the four scheduled movies, according to a network press release."

Even Charlie Chan got cancelled.
