Would Charlie Chan at all as rebooted detective show? Could it be done as a positive representation of an Asian American/Pacific Islander? Or is the character forever tainted as an offensive stereotype?

I'm not very expert about Charlie Chan, but since what I know I think his characterization, despite being stereotypical, is a pretty positive representation of an Asian American private eye. I think his modern counterpart could be a kind of Asian Poirot.

I concur, especially if they don’t cast a white guy in makeup like the 40s
