Did you know we already had an Asian TV sitcome called "All American Girl" with Margarette Cho?
It lasted only a couple weeks on the air....
(ironically, the Asians themselves didn't like it.)
Well yeah, the kung fu fighter stereotype is unfortunate, and is actually one Bruce accidently started too I think.
Bruce really was concerned with Chinese being portrayed as strong and fighters since, at the time, all that was on TV was the pigtail "bowing and scrapping" type roles.
He definitely sought out to destroy that. Unfortunately he did start another LOL. But I really don't think that was his intention. He was concerned with giving Chinese a more positive role in media in the states.
Unfortunately, the media isn't doing much to combat stereotyping of Asians still today. But that's another post.
