Not entirely true. No one's going to step onto the street and pick up random minorities who have never acted in their lives. So, no, not SOLEY.
I'd agree with you if I thought that actors WERE chosen solely for their acting talent. But they aren't. Just as blonde models are routinely chosen over brown-haired models because they play to a greater audience, talented minority actors are often seen as unfit for roles in shows and films. They're nonstandard and unusual, and movie studios aren't going to take the risk with multimillion-dollar budgets on the line.
