Kung Fu re-imagining following a Chinese-American woman returning to her hometown of San Francisco after a journey to China is only the latest to fall prey to the BLM message, even after almost criticizing it.
The May 5 episode “Sanctuary” involves our protagonist Nicky (Olivia Liang) learning about a recent officer-involved shooting of a black teenager in Chinatown. This plot follows the usual beats of insisting the victim was innocent and unarmed (unlike most police shooting victims), claiming this is happening too often (it isn’t), and starting a protest to criticize the racist police (in San Francisco, of all places).
