Karate Kid: Stereotype? An interesting essay pointing out a problem with the latest Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon:

This episode was the most mind-bogglingly patronizing thing I’ve ever seen since viewing the silent movie “Shadows”. In that movie, Lon Chaney takes the role of the wise, stomach-churningly humble, hardworking Asian laundryman. The fact that around 80 years have passed since that film & this cartoon but the Asian protagonist has been portrayed so very similar is troubling.
