The article is about the UK, where blacks make up 3% of the population, not the US, where they are aporox. 13%, ironically making your statement even more apropos.

Do blacks make up 25% of the British population? Do blacks make up 25% of authors who write in English?

Nope.

The percentage of black literature compared to non-black literature.
