13. Charlie Chan in Lots of Stuff
Originally, Charlie Chan was intended as a means to shy away from the growing “Yellow Peril” portrayal of Asian characters as evil. In print, Earl Derr Biggers character wasn’t so bad. The detective was intelligent, kind, and always one step ahead of the criminals. When that message was translated faithfully to the screen however, it met with little success. It wasn’t until the title role was recast with a white actor in yellow face who played up Chan’s subservience and unwavering adherence to tradition, that the character became truly popular (and truly offensive). More than 20 films were made starring the character.
