The characters in American films are vast and differ most of the time. You have the sports hereo who wants to do art, the war hero who cant die, the ugly girl who turns out is extreamly good looking. But forign characters are normaly either the enemy, the dumb forigner or the funny one. An example is both the Hangovers. You have your cast of all white males who with one funny one, one good looking one, one normal one and so on and so on. But you have the one single chineese character and he is the criminal, drug acdict.
Another example is action movies. Almost always the enemy is made appearent by their skin color, language and so on. In my opinion American movies certaintly look at forigners through the stero-typical view point.
