Most popular shows don't have a black guy?
At least 90% of them have them. I am being generous with the rest of 10% just to be safe.
I even remember me posting about Longmire not having token black guy among main characters as a huge surprise (can look that post up).

Top black guy? As in number 1 character? Of course, it would be ridiculous (12% of population yet most top guys black) that most of them had number 1 character as a black guy.

Even 1 of 5 is over representation. 1 out of 8 would be according to population stats.

I honestly can not name any other show besides Longmire that I watched not having black guy among top5-8 main characters. Maybe some set in redneck country (Justified?)
I am sure there are some if I go cherry picking title by title, but they will be in those 10% I mentioned.
