However, when Lee’s daughter Shannon Lee was asked if her father would choose to be like Muhammad Ali or Arnold Schwarzenegger, she had an interesting answer. Shannon believed he would prefer the legendary boxer, but not because Lee admired him. Then why Ali over Schwarzenegger?

She further explained how helping others was always on the MMA expert’s mind, who never thought about politics or the government. While talking about her father’s humanitarian practices, she said, “He did Humanitarian type of things in his life. I think he was very interested in the human condition. He tried to help people as far as racism is concerned, and to be helpful and of service to those who he felt he could help.”

Racism was never rare in the west, and hence, Lee was no foreigner to it. Shannon also mentioned how the legend used his work to address the issue. “He conveyed his message via his films as he battled racism,” his daughter stated.
