Chuck norris is a real fighter, while bruce lee is not?

I saw that same interview and they asked chuck if he could beat bruce and he admitted he would lose. The truth is Chuck is not that good of a martial artist. His moves are stiff and with barely little speed even in his young days. The reason why he because popular is because he was relatively the first "White man" to get a high degree in a martial art. Bruce didn't become as popular as chuck in america because america prefered to have a man who has white skin instead of someone who was chinese. Which if you look at his movies of when chuck was young you could compare him to most kungfu practicioners in china and notice he was only an average fighter, nothing more. Once again Chuck was recognized because he is the only "white man" to hold a 7th degree black belt in a martial art.
