    In a lot of movies, non-white actors and actresses have historically been portrayed as dumb, villianous, criminal, and incompetent people.  Very seldom do I see African American or Hispanic people being portrayed as the very top notched scientists or extremely educated people.  What do young Americans grow up believing?  Yes, you guessed it, minority people are perceived to be dumb, villianous, criminal, and incompetent.  Why don't we encourage good role models for ALL of us instead?
