[quote:Anonymous Coward 77177702:MV8zOTY4ODA4XzcxNzY5OTIzX0I1RTlCMTU4] Because they haven’t figured out how the internet and adblockers work, yet. I think the last commercial I saw was for Fruit Roll-Ups in 1995. [/quote]

Either as main character or "supporting cast"
Blacks represent 13% of the population
Other minorities (Asian/Hispanic/other) represent over 23+% but are not seen nearly as often.
If you never knew the stats, living outside of USA one would guess the ratio is 60% white/40% black population just based on commercials.
