Yes, Black people are only like 13% of the total US population, but TV shows are set in specific locations, usually locations where black people are a quarter or more of the population.

Thus it isn't really over-representation of black people, it's an under-representation of locations between the coasts and outside of major cities.

I'm not really sure what's not to get.

Point out some TV shows that are set in locations where black people don't reflect a higher percentage of the local population than our numbers in the national population.

Also, next time, why don't you try explaining what you mean instead of giving a short, cryptic answer. It makes you come across as confrontational for no reason.

And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..." -The Bard
