Wonder why they don't have white people playing blacks by tarring up their faces a la "Birth of a Nation."

I'm pretty sure the old man on his death bed cries about having taught karate instead of kung fu to his children.

Also, where was the yellow face? The children have a caucasian mom who slept with travelling salesmen.
