You only need to check out YouTube to discover that Bruce Lee indeed had a very thick accent. I would say, and I believe the general opinion is, the fact that Lee did have such a heavy accent was very much a pert of his persona and had an impact on the types of roles he played in American projects (and the amount of dialogue included in those roles) -- for one example, THE GREEN HORNET. I didn't find anything remotely offensive in the accent Cole Horibe uses in KUNG FU. If anything, I find your opinion offensive in itself, since it seems you don't understand why such a heavy accent was used. P.S. As thick as Horibe's accent for the character is, I had no problem understanding what he said. I don't think I missed a single word of dialogue.
