while I do think Samuel L Jackson and Morgan Freeman are hella cool, I don't think are they cooler than any other race of actors.

Well...Al Pacino, Edward Norton, John Cusak, and Kevin Spacey are pretty cool, but they aren't black to my knowledge.
How about Bruce Lee, Dustin Nguyen, Tia Carrera, and Jet Li?

The proper term is "Asian" or "Asian American", if they are of American nationality.

Actually, the coolest actors of all are the animated ones - contort, stretch, shrink, get bopped and keep on going, etc. etc.

Cooler meaning what? Richard Roundtree as Shaft is about the coolest thing I can remember in a movie, but I really don't get what you are talking about. Morgan Freeman is not really what I think of as cool, but he's a hell of an actor.

closing this thread, it just feels like the thread is aimed at creating devisciveness rather than taking about something.
