[Seamus28235]

I believe there’s a definite push to get away from the ‘Buckwheat’ stereotype of old and the ‘gangster’ stereotype of more recent. From Amos and Andy to the Lone Ranger, history had a way of putting non-whites into lesser roles. Putting forth such positive stereotypes may be on one hand overkill, but on the other it’s only making up for decades of lost time. However, progress will be completed when African Americans can play the silly flunky and the wise elder in equal numbers without attracting outrage.

Yeah, there is a tendency for whites to look upon other ethnic cultures as somehow more soulful and real than their own. It’s a natural rebellion, but an expected one, as it’s been the common one for several generations now. Comfort and privilege will often form doubts about one’s place in the world, and create longings for lives without the perceived ‘evilness’ of such a charmed life. From New Age blond ‘shamanists’ to suburbia hip-hoppers, this is not an uncommon trait and will always have its place in middle-class culture.
