http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Grier

She apparently starred in some "Blaxploitation" films in her younger days, so she must have been the inspiration for a large number of solo performances.

Grier has stated that her multiracial ancestry includes African American, Native American (viz. Cheyenne), Hispanic American, Filipino American

^The alpha dogs like Maxwell Bright usually don't have any trouble acquiring female companionship in the USA.

You might enjoy the funny mockumentary Mail Order Wife

The lead actor is more similar to the stereotype of the guy who seeks a mail-order bride. :lol:

It would be difficult for a guy to watch this film without thinking "Wow. I wish I could have a wife like that."

Feminist reviews are quite predictable.

...Maxwell Bright...has a big problem. Actually, he has several problems, but in order to avoid giving away some important drama from the film we'll stick to the central issue. Maxwell Bright is a rampant misogynist. Completely incapable of feeling empathy for women, Max lives in a state of perpetual angst, waiting for the next affront to come from "bull-dyke feminist pigs". Not surprisingly Mr. Bright lives a life devoid of feminine relationships...

....“The Civilization of Maxwell Bright” is a movie that tries hard to do the right thing, but it falls back on the old, lazy, entrenched bigotries so prevalent in Hollywood that, despite being an indie film, it might as well have been a $10M studio film for all the cultural “good” it does.

Maxwell Bright...is a f*****g as*hole. He’s an entitled, white, well-off, misogynist electronics salesman who we first see running naked out of his house, chasing his girlfriend who has just hit him on the head. It wasn’t a debilitating blow, obviously, because he’s capable of violently screaming at her about how she wants to spend a selfish 45 minutes having sex. Also, she doesn’t give him enough blow jobs like he deserves. The police arrive and both officers think he’s the aggressor, which Max blames on them being female and irrational. The girlfriend then jams a garden implement into his chest....

...That night, Arlis and other friends join Max at his house for poker. They all slam women in extremely stereotypical, sexist ways, and then Max has an “epiphany”. I wish there was a better word for it, because he didn’t so much have an epiphany as come up with a stupid, paranoid theory that he thinks explains why his life sucks: Women in the U.S. are taught to be manipulative b*****s in college, while Asian women are taught to please men and do anything for them. Therefore, he decides to get an Asian mail order bride.

This opening act is the perfect example of why the film fails. The encounter on the lawn with the police officers is an illustration of the failed post-sexist rhetoric that pervades allegedly progressive entertainment, media, and most especially Internet discussion....

...Mai Ling, who is nothing more than a caricature of the obedient Asian woman, puts up with everything Max does....

He was the most awful example of a man,almost as bad as my ex.
She wasn't looking for a rich husband,but did the mail order bride deal so her sister could have a good life.I thought she came across as a strong woman,then at the end she went back to her old life instead of looking for another wealthy man.

maybe if she had sought merely a man instead of a wealthy man her luck would've been better?

Her goal was to help her family and she also wound up helping the jerk she married to not be a jerk.She was a truly good person.

truly a good person indeed. to borrow from henry kissenger, 90% of folks give the other 10% a bad reputation.
