"It bothers no one that Blacks are overrepresented as NBA players."

Oh I'm sure it bothers a few people out there =)

But the difference here is simple: The folks who are bothered by Black overrepresentation in the NBA don't have the power to do anything about it. But the arts & entertainment world is flat-out different. Politically, they (mostly) lean left. So, any groundswell of complaints vis-à-vis social justice are likely to get a fair hearing at some point--it's a sympathetic audience.

Ultimately this is the source of a lot of traditionalist conservative frustration: American pop culture is largely shaped by people who are at least left-of-center.

We’re going to overcome this through equity of outcomes in which each team will always score the same number of points and still call it a win. Equity of outcomes is really quite simple. Anyone wanting to make a poor person’s wealth equal to their own (ie equity) merely has to give that a person their money until the numbers match. But really those rich that want equity are hypocrites because they won’t share half their wealth with the poor. They are Socialists and Communists that want Other People’s (like me who already has paid millions in taxes) money to be taken.
