Yeah! However, I want to make it clear I didn't mean my question as any kind of challenge. I'm just wondering what Trader Rick had in mind -- is her dark complexion considered inaccurate for a Chinese? Is there something signalled by the depiction of her that strikes some as politically incorrect? I see it as a pretty straightforward depiction, but I might be missing some cues which had relevance in another era, e.g. her lipstick, covered hands, etc.
