Two factors appear to have driven Tyson Cane's career. On the one hand, he has emphasized his desire "to try and change the industry and the image of African American models. That's why I worked with Falcon. I was the first black person to work with Falcon as a model. … I went after companies that purposely didn't work with black guys …" Even if Cane's claim about being Falcon's first black model is not true, there can be little doubt that the gay adult industry continues to be racially segregated. Cane seems to see himself as a pioneer in breaking up stereotypes. In this context, it is worth noting that he has supported the New York chapter of Men of All Colors Together (MACT). His videography shows, however, that the reality of the gay adult industry has forced him back into all-ethnic productions.
Cane's second motivation is connected with the first: instead of appearing in "videos from the black companies were cheaply done,", Cane wanted to work for "the top companies," "the best companies." He claims that he had to promise his parents to excel to make them accept his career choice.

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely that which all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
