The media exists as a little world where white men (and will smith) get whatever minority chicks, and brownies play the small roles. Men are attracted to looks in general, whereas women look at power and status and see white man as symbolic of wealth and power. So the formula stays the same. In general, I do find it annoying that most EA stars are models or porn stars. Can we have some people who do real damn work and not just stand in front of cameras touching yourself like an ape? EA men will have to earn their way into the spotlight. Fortunately, we have done pretty well in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. BJ Penn is the light weight UFC champion of the world. Half Korean, half White from Hawaii. Brandon Vera...half Filo, half white. Up and coming champion Dennis Kang...Half Korean half white, contender for middle weight championship in Japanese leagues Top LHW contender for the UFC LHW Championship Belt, Lyoto Machida, whose half Japanese half Brazilian I'll take us EA men represented as fighters over EA women represented as porn stars anyday ;D ;D ;D

I don't doubt that there may be some white bias in the media, but I think you overstate it a bit. I don't think it's an overly conscious thing necessarily. For one, there's not a lot of Eurasians in general, not everyone of them is trying to be an actor, and not everyone is going to get a big break even if they are trying to be an actor.

Not exactly EA, but Blasian. I think he should be noted, since he has Asian/Black mixed type phenotype. He is a superstar in the US, and many of his movies have made over 100 million USD. What's awesome about him is nobody ever refers to him by his race. He's just the Rock and he's just f**king awesome.

Actually, nowadays he's using his real name, since he's a bit more into the acting business. Still f***ing awesome though.

The Rock is the MAN.
Every guy loves him because he is just a superstar - he defines cool.
Every woman loves him because... well, just look at him.

The Rock is a little after my time, I guess. Never found him cool. I liked wrestling when 1) you had a gimmicky weapon and 2) you were a drooling redneck. Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Jake the Snake, for example.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Jake the Snake, for example. ^I just found his public speaking to be amongst some of the most funny stuff I've ever heard. The guy had balls and the guy had swagger. Check this out, when the wrestling went to Sacramento: I think this one is hilarious too: lol his mouth can go on for days. Rude? Yes. Witty? Even more so. ----------------------------------- Another EA man, Tedy Bruschi (Italian and Filipino), superstar NFL linebacker for the New England Patriots, winner of 3 championships. A true inspiration to so many people, after having had a stroke and being able to return to elite status after missing most of 2005 to become 2005's NFL Comeback Player of the Year. For the record, 1.85m tall and 112kg of tank.

To be fair, he did have a gimmicky weapon: The People's Elbow. Haha. That sh*t is funny. I liked him in Be Cool, I guess. [edit] Wow, had no idea that Johnny Damon was EA. That rocks.

there are EA men in the media, at least in Korea:: How could you forget about DANIEL HENNEY?!! Western media: I just read that he will be on X-Men Origins www.imdb.com/name/nm2024644/and that his mom is a Korean adoptee (Wikipedia), his Korean is pretty good, though! Self-taught? Another EA actor (whose Korean isn't as good):: Dennis Oh (model and "actor" - he suckswiki.d-addicts.com/Dennis_Ohoh hello
