I don't agree with this, most of the non-Norwegians in this case are adopted or half-Norwegians and are therfore in a way 'Norwegian' at least culturally, I have yet to see any prominent Somalian-Norwegian actors or musicians.

There have been multi-racial misses in the past also like Kirby Ann Basken(Norwegian father, Fillipina mother.)

yes i should have specified, half Norwegian or adopted was also in my usage of the words "non norwegian" here.. i mean ethnically.. i dont count half Norwegians as norwegian, not ethnically...but culturally sure..

some examples:

Maria mena, Mira craig, Christian strand, Vegard Thomas Olsen, Alejandro fuentes, Nadia Hasnaoui, Jorun Stiansen etc...

but it should be noted that i dont watch tv so maybe its not like this anymore ( 10 years or so since i watched it on a regular basis, maybe longer even), but my experience of norwegian media culture is that exotic (non norwegian) is in, hence all these people...as i still see them when i read online news etc...
