[quote:Anonymous Coward 52923498:MV8zOTY4ODA4XzcxNzc0NzI1Xzk5MUVDODBB] I always thought the Brits had a large black population. More than the US Because many of the bbc and pbs shows we get from across the pond have a lot of black characters 3% of the population is black. [/quote]
Original Message
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.
