I guess it maybe because there aren't many ethnic casting choices out there. That and the ones that are available either cater to a stereotypical role or to one that obviously isn't a strong role (i.e. background character).
I've observed this on numerous occasions with some of my friends who now have children of their own. At first they would want the typical life of many women and promiscuity but once they had a daughter or a son they realized they didn't want anyone to treat their own kids like sex objects or trash.
I wish I could afford to buy those gigantic Leonardo books that contain copies of all his works. I think there are 7 volumes of those and boy are they expensive. :(
One thing to consider is the rapid growth and development of various nations who now have stable economies and political systems. Also, wealth is globalizing as we see in nations like India and China and smaller nations like Kenya and Nigeria closely following up. This can be attributed to the growing middle class world wide which economically are the backbone of developing and developed nations.
Either way...I think it would be nice to have another large power in the World (my hopes would be India) as this would help stabilize many neighbouring nations, however, just as history has pointed out many many times (never forget your history and past or suffer the consequences!!) that sometimes two incompatible powers can be very detrimental.
Reminds me of those old articles and stories of folks in the Victoria era going to "theaters" to watch mentally ill patients being experimented on. Ugh. The things they did that I read on that topic were horrific.
Why do I have an image of this guy sitting in a room completely decked out in leather, mahogany, rifles, and animal trophies around a giant roaring fire?
Maybe that's how we get peanut butter! I can't for the life of me wrap my mind over the idea that mashing peanuts creates the tasty goo paste. It must come from the Earth!

You read my mind.
