laughable. They've probably never even seen an old Charlie Chan movie. If they had, they might see that Charlie Chan was portrayed as a very smart, intuitive investigator who always got the bad guy using his keen intelligence and powers of deduction. I think that would be a great way for a race to be portrayed; I don't see the problem.
I'll tell u what hurts my feelings is all these stupid reality tv shows. They play back to back to back now, and I really hope the craze dies soon. Maybe if I complained, they would take them off the air.
Until then, I'll choose to watch another station.

The businesswoman, in town for an important meeting, checked into her room at the swank hotel and unpacked her bags. Noticing that her best suit had been badly wrinkled during her flight, she telephoned the desk and asked the hotel's valet service to pick it up for pressing.
Almost immediately after she hung up the phone, a knock sounded at the door, and there stood an elderly Chinaman, waiting. Impressed by the fast service, the career woman exclaimed, "My, you come lickety-split!" "No, ma'am," replied the elderly Chinaman. "Come to get laundry."

OK, lets be honest....HOMER SIMPSON is offensive. If Homer were any other race (other than caucasian) he would be banned form television as racist.
Homer istead has a cult-hero status.

EXCERPT:
(CNSNews.com) - The Fox Movie Channel, apparently torn between the sensitivities of Asian Americans and the desires of its viewers, has amended an earlier decision to cancel a Charlie Chan film festival.
Fox had announced the cancellation of the broadcasts last week after complaints from Asian American groups about the fictional Chinese detective the groups said was portrayed as a racially offensive stereotype.
However, the Fox Movie Channel, which serves about 20 million households through either cable or satellite service, added a sentence late Tuesday to its website statement indicating a possible shift in the network's decision to cancel the Chan film festival.
The sentence added to the Fox website reads as follows:
"Fox Movie Channel will schedule Charlie Chan films based on the feedback of its subscribers."
