Last Weekend
I attended the last weekend of Nisei Week which included the Odori (Obon dancing) and this year for the first time a cosplay contest. Before that I was hiking on the Big Island of Hawaii, among other things. I didn't fall off a cliff, but I did almost drown at a stream crossing. Fortunately, someone did save me. While in Hawaii I learned that the currently reviled fictional Chinese American detective Charlie Chan was based on a real Honolulu police detective, Chang Apana. For more info, see:
http://charliechanfamily.tripod.com/thecharliechanfamilyhome/id78.html
http://www.royalelephant.com/tgcharliechan.shtml
http://www.autopen.com/charlie.chan.shtml
When I was growing up, the only positive role models for APs I remember on the big screen were Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto (http://user.dtcc.edu/~berlin/mr_moto.htm) who usually outsmarted their Caucasian counterparts, and for sure were a lot more polite. Mr. Moto, could kick bu** while the Chan household included an African American who was treated as an equal of the No. 1 Son. Before we judge Mr. Chan too harshly by contemporary standards, we might want to consider his historical context.
