This is an interesting one, because there has been a weird division in black and white television in the last couple decades. It used to be that whites watched The Cosby Show, and Good Times, and The Jeffersons, etc, and blacks watched All in the Family, Cheers, and Three's Company. But nowadays how many whites do you know that watch The Hugleys or that Daman Wayans show that I don't even know the name of (or, like, any of the 50 Tyler Perry movies that come out each year)? And Seinfeld was barely watched among blacks. It's totally bizarre that our cultures have gotten more separate in terms of the media we consume.There are more minority people in media but only portrayed in a certain manner.
