   As I later posted:  I found the grave!  I paid homage to Warner   
   Oland. I even left flowers!   
      
   And it is shocking but Charlie Chan is offensive to the "Woke"   
   generation. Which is kind of weird, as the films portray a   
   racial minority as the smartest man in the room...   
      
   Yes, they also employed black comedians and are denounced   
   as racists for that reason. But they were hired to attract a   
   black audience, and they worked!   
      
   "Times change." I get it. But people don't. Everyone is as closed   
   minded as ever...
