Racism is everywhere ?

Ok so.. after talking with my brother about all the racism in the world we discovered some interesting stuff.
I don't look to start trouble, I'm just sharing my viewpoints and want to know what you think of it, if I disturb someone I apologize, this is my opinion after all and it won't change anything.

So...

Everywhere you go.... you see racism and not just the racism against african americans.

Movies and TV Shows : Few movies have african american or latin actors as the protagonists.. I can only think of Men of Honor right now.
Sure they have ''important'' plays, such as Eric Foreman in Dr. House or the Scrubs one, but never the protagonist.
But.. Friends, The OC, Two and a Half Men, and many others just have white people.
And well I think thats racism, not that the Director is exactly a racist son of a *****.. no, but it's still racism.

/sarcasm on

Because people want to see guys like Ray, Roy or whatever the main guy of OC is.. not ugly dark-skinned Latins! I mean EWWW! I mean who was the wise guy that suggested that Latin or African American people should be protagonist? What a jackass!

/sarcasm off

Video Games : Well I haven't exactly played all the video games ever made... but : ¿What video game character as famous as.. Mario, Link etc that is not white? That is dark-skinned or african-american? Non
e I think... and if there are... they are not famous..

Take a look at Super Smash Brothers, ALL are white.
King of Fighters?
Street Fighter?
Soul Calibur?
And all the cool series people play..
Final Fantasy... Check Cloud... check Tidus... ''pretty'' blonde boys.

The Legend of Zelda itself!
As much as I hate to admit it : Link and Zelda are perfect for this, white as hell and golden hair, the typical pretty stereotype.

I thought about it.. and lemme ask you this question :

Would you still like Zelda overall all the LoZ characters if they or most of them were African-american? Link, Zelda, Malon, Saria... name any important character... all of them being... DARk-SKINNED... would you still love the game as you do?
And this applies for any game you like, such as Final Fantasy or Devil May Cry.

In my case? Well I would still play the game.. yeah but I would not have fanart of them maybe, and it would just be ''another game'', they wouldn't be as badass as they are now.


And of course this also applies on movies, and TV shows and cartoons... being white is the thing many people want.. and it's sad... people should be proud of what they are and not of how they think they should be... and I say this because I know friends who.. don't like how they were born.. and I have who do like how they were born and don't give a **** about stereotypes.

And I also have experimented racism, being Caucassican, I got insulted at school since I was the most white guy there... so bad that it made me quit it and can't go back.
Also being insulted in the USA for the fact we are mexicans... heh.

When did it all went to hell?
