The Chinese-Canadian National Council for Equality says the shows, called [[broadwcast:the Talons of Weng-Chiang|the Talons of Weng-Chian]], are dangerous, offensive, racist stereotyping (which) associate the Chinese with everything fearful and despicable." Dr. Joseph Wong, council president, said the instalments, part of a series produced by the BBC for the last 16 years, include everything from an evil Fu Manchu character to pigtailed coolies and laundrymen who submissively commit suicide on their master's orders." }}
