Any old Charlie Chan Movie Fans, here? Last time I got into a discussion
Advertisements [?]
about those movies I was accused of being anti-Asian and that the movies were sterotypes that needed to be "stamped out," "gotten rid of" and thrown in the garbage for being "racist."

I really liked the movies and they made me like Asian-Americans because I thought "wise Chan" was representative of all Asians. Little did I know that "people are people" and giving a pass to any ethnic group, including my own, is not the best way to go. There's Devils and Angels amongst us all...but I loved those movies for the mystery and, yes, many of them had pretty good plots for their time.

It was entertainment. And a good Winter watch for fun...going back in time to the 1930's in movie lore kind of takes me away from the depression here, for awhile..to another time. Just before the Nazi's actually....but nevermind.

Did anyone like them just for what they were?
