It doesn't matter to me, their race... I don't tend to notice whatever color they are. If their background brings something to the role that would otherwise be missing (like accent or bilingual, background reference, etc), then absolutely, cast them... but otherwise, it's a bit of a circlejerk if you ask me. We'll be back where we started later on when people start to complain about being typecast...
