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:
“Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“The absolute things, the last things, the overlapping things, are the truly philosophic concerns; all superior minds feel seriously about them, and the mind with the shortest views is simply the mind of the more shallow man.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“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)
