Let me repeat myself: there is jo such thing as “overrepresentarion”. There isn’t, and shouldn’t be, a law that states that TV and movie producers have to follow census data strictly in their casting. That would be stupid.
You’re thinking about “documentaries”. There’s this whole other uniberse of films commonly referred to as “fiction”. Or are you upset that Hobbits are overrepresented in The Lord of the Rings, blue aliens in Avatar and people who can fly in Superman, too?

Around 5% of the population. So yes it’s overrepresented

It seems to me that films are supposed to be as close to reality as possible to be credible.
