The key to the outrage is that we don't need *white television.* How many sitcoms out there have a non-white in the lead role that aren't specifically made to pander to another ethnicity? TV in America is overwhelmingly white, which is why "white TV" would have particular issue.
Now you could get away with "Irish TV" or "Polish TV." Just not "white TV" (WASP TV would probably also catch flak, from non-WASP whites as well as nonwhites)

Could it be because there are more white people in the US?

Proportionate to population though then 30% of the actors/shows we see on TV should be black or latino or asian actors, when in fact it's more like 5%. I mean if there's a "black" role in a movie it's basically one of six actors that are getting it (lol) -- Will Smith, Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle or uh ... I can't even name more than that, lol.
