I like seeing diversity on screen. Asian chicks still don't do anything for me though.

It's about time. But almost all roles are for females, usually as love interests for caucasians. No/rare strong asian male roles, men are often cast/played effeminate, if not bad guy being beaten by caucasian (see Chuck Norris). About the only lead strong asian actor I can remember in western production movies is Chow Yun Fat, whose movies didn't do so well. And that was after he was a mega star in HK. Hopefully, this will change.
