Why are the majority of the main characters in asian tv shows, movies, and books asian? Why aren't they black or white?
The ethinicity of the majority of a population will reflect the ethinicity of the main characters in that populations media.

because majority of the population is white, followed by black people. A show is supposed to appeal to the mass majority, rt?
I think that's why. Besides, there have been movies/books in which the central character hasn't been white or black. Would you go over to Japan and ask why all the main characters in the movies are Asian, although Japan has non-Asian communities in the country?

Maybe because you're looking in all the wrong places ; ) If you want to make a difference then get yourself out there and show to the world that anyone can do anything if you're soooo concerned about this.

Not always, I believe it's more mass appeal really. Or even just a lack of available persons of different ethnicity that can play the part.

All of them are not always white or black.
Majority, yes, but NOT ALWAYS.
