Not all "whites" think black and white - depends on the culture. Russians, Polish, Lithuanians, the Slavic and Baltic races can't be compared to Anglo races. And mixed race people are majority outside of western or eastern countries too Though yes mixed people in the states generally fit into the "white" typecast if they don't possess the west's stereotypical racial features of Asia. And don't bother with stormfront unless you want to have a good laugh, you should also try pan-Aryan nationalist forum, one of the funniest sites you'll ever visit lol! To be fair though a minority of Stormfront members have some rights - for example, Europeans have the right to speak out against immigration if they don't like it - it is their native soil. However, Russo-Siberia, America and Australia -> they have no right to their claims as they are immigrants themselves with a mere 100-300 year civilisation compared to the millenia-old cultures of the natives.

In 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' Keanu speaks Mandarin with one of the other characters in the movie. Keanu's Mandarin is truly awful, and they didn't have to have him speaking to a Chinese bloke - it's not essential to the plot. Dunno if they're trying to attract a Chinese audience, trying to emphasise Keanu's heritage, or just trying to suggest that wise weird old alien characters are best portrayed by old Chinese men.
Hope he doesn't speak Japanese in Ronin.

I have not seen the movie yet, but I remember when Alec Baldwin said a line in Mandarin in Pearl Harbor -- not perfect, but not awful -- it was clearly understandable.
