it's the same with a lot of action movies --imagine scenes in which some high degree of cunning is called for, say hacking a computer or formulating a new DNA sequence:

MOST of the time if there's a black character, HE (sometimes she) will come up with the brilliant, day-saving solution, dazzling white (and asian) on-lookers; they're grateful, awestruck, and utterly non-comprehending of the trick involved.

I thought the asian characters were streretyoped as the techincal nerds?
