I think its simply a question of culture. Most asians today in america's are still either immigrants or sons/daughters of immigrants. Basically, that means most asians are still raised with "asian" values. Asian culture encourages much more academic prowness than anything that could be entertainment related. That is why you don't see many asians in the medias. Most of them strive to succeed in professions deemed "succesful" by their culture. (doctors and engineers) Give it a few generations and as more asian-american are raised with american culture, you should see more asians on TV.

On the otherhand, "black" culture doesnt put that as much emphasis on academic success. Thats the reason why there are much more african-americans in the medias. I really don't think its reasonable to think that blacks are better actors, singers, dancers or whatever than asians. Its only culture. My guess is that in a few generations, it everything should be more homogeneous.
