Among New York State's cities, as of 2010, New York City is 44% white, 28% Latino, 25% African American, and 13% percent Asian American. The city of Buffalo, New York state's second-largest city, is 50% white (45% non-Hispanic white), 38% African American, 10% Latino, and 3% Asian American. The state capital of Albany is 57% white (64% non-Hispanic white), 30% African American, 8% Latino, and 5% Asian American.
20% is not small by any means, and certainly not small enough to justify the poor representation in media. 1 in 5 is a significant amount considering the number of characters in any given TV show or film, and even more so among the number of notable celebrities. Multi-culturalism is growing, but there will always be closet racists who dig in their heels and cause an uproar. I didn't agree with the Chinese dress being cultural appropriation, and from what I saw, neither did most people, Chinese or not.

Yes, it's clearly their fault they're under-represented. They enjoy being held to white standards for beauty across all media and having to see themselves as either awkward caricatures or not at all. There is no sexism or racism or bias, and to imply otherwise and make the majority uncomfortable is just plain rude and insensitive.

It must be a lovely little bubble you live in.
