Thank you. I think we miss something in forgetting or canceling these characters. It's kind of funny when Proper White Liberals opine about northeast Asian people; they sometimes forget that those cultures have a lot of social order and tradition, and respect for certain old-fashioned parts of their host cultures. Probably why Orientals (to invoke a location and period in history) were so well-assimilated as subcultures in the West.
The character of Charlie Chan really was somewhat of an ambassador in the entertainment space.
I hope that you will enjoy the books. They are much less well-known and appreciated than the movies. Reading is more difficult than watching, it seems.
Thank you for introducing me to this interesting character. Just got the series on Kindle, thanks to you.
Fantastic! I hope that you'll enjoy the books.

And yes, I need to read the books now... ;) thank you for that.

I love the way you put that: "an ambassador in the entertainment space." That is quite true.
