Karate is Japanese. Actors like Chan should be using their clout to work against the Western movie industry's tendency to treat all Asians interchangeably, not aiding and abetting it!horus kemwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984916074697401382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584136932457520514.post-90017052192813185142010-04-10T20:18:37.764-05:002010-04-10T20:18:37.764-05:00Indeed.
