In 2011, 28.0 percent of workers earned poverty-level wages ($11.06 or less an hour), Workers earning poverty-level wages are disproportionately female, black, Hispanic, or between the ages of 18 and 25.

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.
