Mark,
Great bit of trivia. From our current perspective we can sneer at the unconscious racism of that era, but sadly and obviously racism is alive and well today. I remember the great 70’s TV show, Kung Fu. It was created by Bruce Lee with himself in mind for the lead role, but the studio heads hired Caucasian, David Carradine in fear the American TV viewer would be put off by an Asian playing an Asian. Funny world….

Nicely done. Had no idea of the association, especially the extension to Britain.
