some of that is media overrepresenation, but I also think some of it is that you don't notice when things are normal/what you'd expect. Like, it would be weird to walk into a cracker barrel and think "lotta white people here." Might as well walk into a gas station and be shocked by the cigarettes.
Americans believe that 20%-30% of Americans are trans, Muslim, and millionaires. I am not kidding
