I suggest you cancel your Fox movie channel, to let them know we don't approve of political correctness in movies.

I don't agree. I have Aristocats for my grandaughter and there's a terrible depiction of a siamese cat which I wish that they had deleted from the movie. It adds nothing to the plot. I put myself in the place of an asian three year old.

It was probably the communists over at Harvard and the NYT that caused a stir about it.

Fox showing Reality TV that features skateboarders dislocating their elbows, blowing out their knees, and bashing their heads is perfectly good and OK. But Charlie Chan is bad and wrong. Yeah, that makes sense (/sarcasm).

I think it strange that a Swedish actor (Warner Oland) played the part of Charlie Chan.

I didn't know Stepin Fetchit (sp?) was in Charlie Chan movies.

I remember him from the Will Rogers movie "Steamboat Round the Bend". A really good movie, for 1935. It was released after Rogers was killed in a plane crash with Willey Post in Alaska.

I happen to know something about the making of the movie. Rogers was way ahead of his time in the line of ad libing lines in movies. In 'Bend, Rogers had a great time in a private contest with Fetchit to think up funny lines to add to the movie. And Fetchit, I think, beat Will Rogers with the line (when Rogers had lassoed a guy off a dock from a moving steamboat and drug him through the water pretty dramatically) asked the almost drowned guy "could I get you somethin, maybe a glass of water?".

Funny stuff. Fetchit was paid well, and lived grand. I think with a private cheaufer (probably white) and limo.

"al sharpy sharpton"

Wrong Name!!!! The correct appellation is, "Al 'Give That Fat Little Rodent Faced Race Hustler a Poke Chop' Sharpton". And we won't discuss the scumbag's role in the lynching of an orthodox Jew from Australia, as I recall. That would be politically infra dig.

You know, someone needs to invent a gizmo that replaces Black stereotypes in old movies with ignorant hillbilly stereotypes. Then you can have the exact same stuff, but it'll be okay!

That really sucks. I had two of those movies set to record on my DVR tonight. I just switched the channel and found Twelve O'Clock High. Thanks for the headsup!

Next they should probably ban Breakfast at Tiffany's. Andy Rooney plays the landlord, and if it isn't racial stereotyping, I don't know what is. That being said, we should all grow thicker skins.

Easy way to solve this dilemma is that those thin-skins who go crazy about this can just NOT watch the movie!!!!!

I don't understand Fox. I usually watch Fox News, but from its inception, the Fox tv network has had nothing but garbage. Almost everything on the alphabet channels is better. The only good thing that Fox ever did was cancelling "Married with Children". They still have "The Simpsons", though.

"Gone With the Wind will be next!!! Lots of racial stereotyping in that one.

As an Irish person I hope they stop showing all those old movies with the funny Irish drunk and the "thick Mick" cop with the heavy brogue.

We are living in a country that is in the middle of a very serious nervous breakdown.Where will it all end?
