The Hollywood prejudice gets even more interesting when you compare lighter-skinned blacks vs darker-skinned blacks in movies, on TV, or in commercials.

The lighter-skinned blacks are vastly over-represented.

Here is a good discussion of this (unreported by MSM) issue:

Yes, I always point that out to my Asian wife and kids.... they see it more clearly than the rest of the USA because they on spent 5 years in the USA before their 18th Birthdays, as I working in Korea, Japan, The Netherlands, Belgium, Israel, Hong Kong, Guyana and Rio de Janeiro. They grew up with Americans and not racially charged constituents of culture. My kids have had a hard time the past 10 years with the double standards and think it’s funny Hollywood doesn’t like real “blacks”. In most commercials you get those multiracial blacks as youth and tend to get real blacks as older representations, a token Asian, Hispanic and a white.... Depending on the product you come full circle to Gillette.
