I don't thing they could pull off the Hop Sing character in today's climate...
Prolly not (in general), though they're doing a pretty good job going "old school" with the portrayal of certain ethnic characters in "Hell on Wheels" on AMC. I've liked that show so far, too.
Loved the Hop Sing character and how he fit into the mix. Victor Sen Yung, who played the character, actually speaks English perfectly. Caught a snippet of a TV interview w/him not too long ago... surprised me at first.
Here's a "Happy Birthday" tribute to VSY, replaying bits of him as Hop Sing in Bonanza.
