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.

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

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.

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