Why does it seem like terrorists in movies are usually American or white?

Why does it seem like movie terrorists are usually white, Asian, or American? There are not many movies that have middle eastern terrorists, except for the last few years. Before 9/11, the only movies I can remember having middle eastern terrorists in them are Back To The Future and Delta Force.|||BECAUSE in these days that would be considered "Racist". Stupid, what has this country become i dont get it.|||Because we associate the word "terrorist" with Middle Eastern men. In lieu of 9/11 I can't blame them, as most terrorists we see are Middle Eastern. So we film what we see.|||Because there's just as many white terrorists as there are middle eastern.|||I believe the horrible crapfest, True Lies, had middle eastern terrorists.
