Not sure if anyone caught it (I caught just the last 10 minutes of it) where the show was talking about Hollywood racial stereotypes. It was pretty interesting and I was actually surprised with the depth that it went into the explain and question racial stereotypes.

They interviewed Daniel Dae Kim, Ming Na Wen, and BD Wong. Kim reported that the kiss between himself and his wife on ABC's Lost was a milestone. Ming Na Wen and BD Wong talked about yellowface and growing up being ashamed of being Asian. They had many clips to prove it. It dealt with stereotypes from all ethnic groups.

The story is a two-parter. The next part will be on Friday (9/15/06) and it will be dealing with the same issues but also people that think there is truth to stereotypes.

I think the show was called "Race and Sex: The questions you were afraid to ask."
