I absolutely accept that there *could* be some racist bias (and it's likley there are because of the society we live in) I've said that repeatedly, but that doesn't mean that it's all about race.
All of the examples I've given above are examples of other stereotypes which influnce writing/casting and could easily dominate over race (put a fat white actress and a 'beautiful' black actress up for the role of political leader of the SGC and see which one gets the role )
There are also plenty of other non-stereotyped reasons for making a situation a certain way, as I've outlined above. It's dangerous to leap to conclusions just from the way something *looks* (and yes, we have to do that, because you can never know the exact motivations and thought processes going on). It's naive to assign one rationale for the way things are; usually there are seventeen hundred different variables all interacting to affect the finale outcome.
