'Warrior' season 1: The show subtly attacks the myth "there is no China in the Bible"
'Warrior' brings out the lesser known history of Chinese immigrants in the United States, right at the time when the nation was building itself from nothing. However, like many other immigrants, the Chinese were also subjected to ruthless indiscrimination which led them to be treated as slaves at the hands of White people. Also, like all other immigrant communities, the Chinese managed to build up their own establishment in the heart of a white nation, driving its illegal business and at the same time keeping the law at bay. Coming from creator Jonathan Tropper, Cinemax's 'Warrior' is a unique tale about struggle, fearless ambitions, and dirty jobs, all done by a community who at the moment dominate the economic world.
However, as all history of the immigrants go, the Chinese were looked down upon by almost every race, but especially by the race which claimed themselves to have read the Bible. As 'Warrior', based on the writings of Bruce Lee, looks into the survival of young Chinese men and women in the notorious corners of a 19th Century Chinatown in San Fransisco, it also subtly hints at the ongoing racism in the age. The show is extremely cleverly written, and while each episode is named after a particular stereotypical myth about the Chinese, there is one episode which bears the tag, 'There is no China in the Bible'. Pulling from that tag itself, we see the title being carried out in the form of a dialogue by a white man as he chases and tries to hurt a Chinese man.
