Another - Heard on NPR
The new movie "21" coming out in theaters soon is about some MIT students who figured out how to game Las Vegas without getting caught (for a while anyway). Apparently, the four main characters from the book it's based on, Bringing Down the House, were Asian (and were partly able to pull it off because of this). Interestingly, most of the "21" cast is white (and all the guys I saw in the trailer definitely were).

Wow, that's even worse than the whitewashing of A Wizard of Earthsea a few years back.
Oh yeah, I remember reading about that. The author of the books was pissed.
