In no particular order: Neil Patrick Harris, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, and there's probably more that I just can't think of right now.
I just got into Pink Floyd a couple of months ago, they are absolutely amazing. The first album of theirs that I heard was Dark Side of the Moon, and it has become my favourite. Since then I've bought The Wall and Wish You Were Here, and I plan on just buying the Discovery Box Set soon. I think Dark Side is their best out of those three (I've only bought/heard those three).
Encore - Eminem (someone already posted it) I was 9. I started listening to him when I was 8, and have been completely obsessed since then. I now own all of his albums, and some vinyls.
I'm Indian, but as Russel Peters said about African-Americans, there's nothing Indian about me aside from my parents. I consider myself Canadian, some call it "white-washed" simply because they expect me to be a Jack (if you're not familiar with the term, Urban dictionary Indian Jack or something). Anyways, on topic. There's a few reasons that I can think of: 1. Cultural Pressures - For those who have parents with very traditional values, there's a lot of pressure to marry someone of the same race. Some may even go asfar as to say that it is disgraceful to marry another person who is not Indian, if you yourself are Indian. I am strongly opposed to these beliefs I should add. I think your point about inter-racial relationships only including Indian women may just be a coincidence. 2. Where you live- Maybe you don't live in a very diverse area. This is a bit of a generalization I am about to make here, but I think most Americans might have a different idea of multiculturalism from Canadians. I have been to the US many many times, and it seems that an area that has African-Americans, and Caucasian folks is considered multicultural. Most places in Canada (I live in BC) that would be very rare. It seems as if most communities here have such a diverse cultural background, one that goes far beyond black and white. Of course, I could be very wrong. Perhaps I have only been to a few wrong areas in the US that don't represent rest of the States properly. Sorry, I got side tracked. Anyways, I think it's a mix of cultural pressure, diversity of your particular state/city, and good old fashioned luck.
I don't know if people have been talking about the Vikings much in this thread, but they've had a below average off-season. They seem like they're trying to do the best with what they have, and seeing as that's mostly aging players, would be to try and win now. They've lost Sidney Rice (we'll see how much of it was simply Favre), and Ray Edwards (we'll see how much of it was simply Jarred Allen). However, Jared Allen now doesn't have much help from the opposite end, which will make things more difficult. I look forward to watching McNabb though, I've always liked him.
Eminem is by far my favourite artist. My sister got me completely hooked to Em when I was pretty young. I listen to Eminem on a daily basis, own all his albums, and find it hard to listen to a lot of other modern rappers because I simply prefer Eminem. I'm not stating that it's a fact or anything that Eminem is the best, I just prefer his style the best. Oh, and I'm not one of those 'I hate rap but love Eminem' people either, there's other rappers that I actually do enjoy listening to.
