Lol at the whitest people out there not considered white.

It's a myth dawg. They were never considered non-white or colored or whatever. The hatred came from the good ol' fashion cath-prot rivalry

One guy claimed Kung Fu in the early 93/94 days but remember that Roy Nelson was the Kung Fu master who put it on the map

I am wondering, who brought Kung Fu in to America?

I mean first Karateka in America is Robert Trios who credited Yashiro Konishi. Of course lots of Americans learned judo and other Japanese martial arts and brought the art. But Kung Fu has always been elusive art for the longest time and I am trying to find if there was a particular individual who first introduced Kung Fu to America during the Chinese immigration to US?

The first recognized Kung Fu master in the United States is widely considered to be Grandmaster Pui Chan, who played a pivotal role in formally introducing traditional Chinese martial arts to the American public.
