I do not know what country you are from, but, here in the U.S., Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, and Ray Liotta would be considered to be white. Will Smith, Halle Berry, Antonio Banderas, and Selma Hayek would, of course, be considered a member of a racial minority, which here in the U.S. would consist of Asians, blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders. These racial minorities make up some 20% of the total population of the U.S. at large. 20% of the women. 20% of the men. While the 16% of the actresses portrayed on the special were minorities, or close to the minority population at large. Only 5% of the actors portrayed on the special were minorities, or a woeful undercount of the minority population at large. Thus, I hold to my opinion that the special was saying that white was sexy, and non-white was not, especially when it comes to male minority actors.
