I think they possibly are reluctant to, but the question is why? I was thinking perhaps its something along the lines of casting white people to cash in on using actors people feel "comfortable" with or using somebody they feel is more marketable...but does that really make sense in this day and age when we consider how many of our prominent entertainers aren't white. That might have made sense in 1950 but today it seems oddly out of place.
I don't know, I can't really think of any good reason to do that other then maybe the studio pressuring them to use certain up and coming actors. Strange.
EDIT: The more I think about it the more I do wonder if the folks in charge feel a good looking white boy is more marketable and will make them more money, if that's the case then yes it's a huge problem.
