For those of you not familiar with the movie, the Green Hornet was a multi-millionaire who would put on a black mask, like the Lone Ranger, but wear an expensive suit and tie as he fought criminals. He had a servant, a Chinese man, who helped him, and drove the huge black limousine they patrolled in. The servants name was 'Kato', and Bruce Lee played the part in the TV Series. Kato was a martial arts expert, and would beat up a dozen bad guys at a time with punches and kicks, while the Green Hornet grappled with some.
When I was in Jr High, my mother wanted my little sister, who was 4 years younger than me, to learn the piano. Well, I demanded to be allowed to take lessons, too, so she hired a private teacher, a middle aged man who was an accomplished pianist to come to our house and teach us. My sister was indifferent to the piano, and didn't practice, and wasn't progressing very well. So, he suggested that my sister might learn better from one of his students. The student would charge much less for a lesson, so our mother agreed. The student was of Chinese Ancestry, but had been born in the US and was as American as us.
So, being a kid who had no idea of political correctness or such, I told all of the younger kids in the neighborhood that my sister was getting piano lessons from 'Kato'. My sister was bewildered when everyone at school asked her about Kato. Our mother laughed herself silly when she heard about Kato.
