Ok, there are movies out there.  But how many of those films are of any
quality?  How many of them are not of the new boneheaded, brainless
blaxploitation genre?  And where are all the other people?  Where are the
Asians?  Where are the Latinos?  Where are the Other?  How often is there a
non-White character in a film starring White actors who is not:  the
gardner, the housekeeper, the token kung fu bad guy, the smuggled-in
helpless immigrant, the America-hating terrorist, the spirtual, mystic Asian
caricature, the comic-relief Black caricature, etc., etc.?  And what about
multiracial people?   Don't you think there's something to be said by or
learned from us?  We'd like to see stories about ourselves too, and not the
regular baloney "I didn't know where I fit in" TV-movie fodder.  That's so
1982.
