What someone's name has to do with quality of Hollywood production?

You premise here seems that Asians and those with Arabic names can not produce quality material? Or such audience does not appreciate quality material?

Your post is more telling of you than of Hollywood. You could not, maybe, think that increased number of such names is because those are good in what they are doing? Or maybe because immigrants and their US born citizens do not anglicize their names any more? Or shitload of other reasons?

It seems that it bothers you because they are not "white" names? For the same reason that very few know who Farrokh Bulsara is? Or Natasha Nikolaevna Zakharenko, or Issur Danielovitch, or Mladen Sekulovich...
(but you know of Freddy Mercury, Natalie Wood, Kirk Douglas, Karl Malden...)
Does Salma Hayek name bother you too?

Sorry, but your post is racist.
