On my first thread here I talked about how being a White male is almost mandatory in the USA if you want to be considered handsome based on just looks alone. Main reason for this is because Hollywood almost always promotes White males as being the most attractive and never really lets other races of men succeed.
You see it more in younger generation of actors, almost all of them are White, sure you can cherry pick and select one minority out of the whole group but it is not in any way representative of the general population.
White males get roles as Goku on DBZ movies and Prince of Persia but never do you see minority men get the role of a major superhero like Batman or Superman.
As for why I am so concerned with this, it affects me as a guy. I am 6 ft tall, chiseled features, dark hair, olive skin, and brown eyes. My friends who are White get more attention, compliments, and are often considered more handsome than me because their eyes are blue and their skin is pale (I live in the south so that might have to do with it but I think it is the same across the USA).
The reason for this I believe is because women are brainwashed by Hollywood to only see White men (and maybe Black men) as ideal. All other races of men are seen as lower class and ugly simply because Hollywood refuses to show attractive men from other races. This affects how society perceives a good looking Indian guy for example who has put a lot of effort into looking good but cannot have the same success as an overweight White guy.
I think it is a sad state of affairs in Hollywood right now.
Do you see Hollywood becoming more diverse say about 50 years from now?
