White Americans feel less represented in pop culture than black and Hispanic adults: Poll

White Americans feel less represented in pop culture than black and Hispanic adults, according to a Morning Consult poll released Thursday.

Less than one-third of white Americans, 32 percent, surveyed say they feel portrayed in pop culture, compared to 58 percent of black and 54 percent of Hispanic adults, per the research.

Republicans also believe they are overlooked.

Thirty-six percent of those who identify as conservative say their political views are depicted on television, while only 19 percent consider their opinions to be presented more widely in pop culture.

This is in comparison to 57 percent of Democrats who think their ideological leaning is “reflected on the small screen,” according to Morning Consult.

The poll also found that almost three-quarters of respondents thought more working class stories should be told on television.

The findings follow 18.2 million viewers on Tuesday turning into the reboot of ’90s ABC sitcom “Roseanne,” in which the eponymous middle class character is a Trump supporter.

The online survey captured a national sample of 2,201 adults taken from March 8-10. Results based on the full sample have a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
