Fox News
"Karate Kid" and "Cobra Kai" star Ralph Macchio, 60, reflected last week on whether he thinks the 1984 movie was "too White."
The former child actor, who is promoting his new memoir "Waxing On: The Karate Kid and Me," added that late co-star Noriyuki "Pat" Morita had said he earned his Academy Award nomination for the movie because of the scene in which it’s revealed he lost his wife and son in one of the camps.
"Pat himself spent two years in the camps," Macchio explained. "So it had double meaning and some depth."
