How about a white actor playing Charlie Chan?
Man, I bet Chinese people would go crazy if they ever let some white guy, like maybe from Sweden or something, play the celebrated Asian American detective.
And what if they let some British guy play Fu Manchu? Or some Hungarian freako play Mr. Moto? I mean, c'mon! East is East and West is West! I think Mark Twain said that.
Well, all I know is they better not ever let a white man play Othello.
