What rules?

How is a crew cut, a “white” hair style?

I grew up watching more shows that featured non-white characters than white ones. In fact, the only shows featuring an all white cast that I did watch were “Friends” and “Seinfeld”. Otherwise I watched “Family Matters”, “Martin”, “The Cosby Show”, “The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire”. Plus as a big fan of martial arts, I saw a lot of stuff coming out of Asia, especially Hong Kong. These HK flicks, if they did feature a white guy, they were usually in a stereotypical bad guy position.

As for movies, once again, I have more favorite movies that feature black leads than non-black leads, with my favorites being the young Eddie Murphy.

It’s all a matter of perspective…
