Do you feel underrepresented? Not to worry - if you change the channel to anything but BET or the Spanish stations - you'll find white people in 99% of the roles again.

Dont fear.. a commercial featuring home security will have a white guy breaking into a house and shortly after a white lady will talk with the security company.. guess whos on the other end?
I am biracial myself, my father is white and ma is Mexican/Aztec...when I look around at large public events most of the youger crowds look darker skinned,just like myself. But I do agree with this poster today a lot of progressive white folks have this self loathing and guilt I don't understand, they themselves have not done a thing wrong if we are talking about the injustices of 200 years ago.
You're not biracial, you are multi-ethnic like many younger people as you have observed. Racially, you are white. Keep in mind that we would not have all these racially and ethnically mixed young people running around if their parents were as bigoted as some suggest.
Last time I took a look around and studied the people around me, most were dressed in cheap ill fitting clothes with a cell phone glued to their ear oblivious to their surroundings.
I noticed a few well dressed, well spoken, well mannered individuals. It didn't matter their race or nationality because there were morons of all races and color.
The most obnoxious offenders were the completely self absorbed morons who thought the world revolves around them and their drama of the moment.

How is someone with an "Aztec" (poster's words) mother white?

That's what is so strange. Based on Telemundo you'd think half the people in Mexico were blonde. You more average looking Mexicans in US tv commercials than on Mexican tv.
So I'm watching tv and a Macy's commercial comes on and I notice there are two females and a guy dancing or walking around in different clothes, swimsuits, or underwear.
And then I notice that the guy is asian, one of the girls is black, And the other one looks Hispanic? What's the deal?
Do these idiots know that America is still 65 or 70% white?
I am greatly disturbed by this & will spend every waking moment wringing my hands in angst.
I wonder how many white people get leading roles in China?
There are not so many "white Chinese" , but we do have some Asian Americans. How many white people speak Mandarin fluently enough to be an actor?
And many Hollywood movies are sci-fi so race can be more or less arbitrary.
