If there are 10 people in a commercial and one is black then 100% of commercials have a black person. I challenge your assertion that 95% of commercials have a black person and ask you to produce some evidence for your observation, or perhaps you are watching with an eye to be offended by all the black faces? Perhaps you could keep some data and post it here later today. Separate the appearance into major vs minor actor and tell us how many black, how many white, how many other or couldn't tell. And what station you are watching.
