Let me repeat myself: there is no such thing as "overrepresentation". There isn't, and shouldn't be, a moral or legal law that states that TV and movie producers have to follow census data strictly in their casting. That would be stupid.

    It seems to me that films are supposed to be as close to reality as possible to be credible.

    You're thinking about "documentaries". There's this whole other universe of films commonly referred to as "fiction". Or are you upset that Hobbits are overrepresented in The Lord of the Rings, blue aliens in Avatar and people who can fly in Superman, too? Maybe there's too many British people in Downton Abbey and too few Vietnamese in West Side Story?

    Just speaking about the most common movies not scify or fantasy.

    In that case I've already explained why you're wrong.

    Having a different opinion to yours doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. In this case, it's you who lacks tolerance.

    You're complaining that too many people of the "wrong" kind are represented in media and I'm the one who lacks tolerance? Man, I thought maybe you were just ignorant but it turns out you're actually mentally handicapped.
