rawr, it's late and im procastinating, but that was far too much quoting and replying to read... imma just say this though, reason why they put the white man in 98% of the movies as the leading role here in america is because it makes $$$, i mean, if you put an asian dude in an adam sandler type movie, no way would he make as much money, they has just been how the movie industry was brought up. asian guys can be put into drama, comedy, and etc situations, but not to the same extent as a white person, because less producers or, any producers at that, understand how to manipulate the asian aura of an actor to create an award winning (or at least box office hit) with an asian actor without the sterotype jokes... so yeah, even though it's a typical asian can do kung-fu, etc etc, they do actions too which actually reflects that of a lot of american films... in terms of drama/horror (meh.. prob not as bad in this category)/or comedy, you'll have to stick to HK films for that because the audience would understand it better, and asian actors can express the jokes in a way which would match their identity. man what the hell did i just type? anyways, being brainwashed by the media, is entirely only based on where you live, and how you were brought up, not entirely blamed on by media itself, but by how much your personality really cares about what the people around you will compare you to the media, if ur surrounding doesnt really care bout the latest trend or fad, then u'll probably less brainwashed then in a society that relies entirely on the media. this also depends on ur household, who if they have a strict type of traditions to keep, then you'll bel ess effected by the media as well :X
