Default Is the African America community under represented?

Considering nearly a quarter of Americans are African then I feel there should be more African Americans instead of just one. Celebs such as Mike Tyson or whoopie Goldberg for example would be good choice or even the little guy from Bad Santa.

I think the African American community especially females are more let down by producers editing them out to be the 'angry' stereotype. This mainly happens in America

I don't understand the fuss. To me it's people looking to be victimised.

Victor = legend. Makosi = legend. Brian = winner.

This so called PC bullsh*t can kiss my hairy crack.
