I found something interesting

Originally one of Captain Hook's crew members was to be a Chinese chef, I'm sure had he been included in the final project that the film would be considered even more offensive for including another racial stereotype, here are a few pictures of him for those who don't believe me: http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/wp-content/V/1940%20Models9 .jpg http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/wp-content/V/storyboardsm.j pg

I do agree that the film would be more controversial if that Chinese chef appeared in the final film. The way that Asians were portrayed at the time were definitely NOT good looking.

basically anyone that wasn't white back then wasn't portrayed good at the time.

I'm so glad they decided not to use this character.
