Ethnic Map Of America.
The tract where I live:
Whites: 43%
Blacks: 7%
Hispanics: 43%
Asians: 5%
Other: 1%
Tract where I work:
Whites: 17%
Blacks: 4%
Hispanics: 78%
Asians: 0%
Other: 1%
It's embarrassing that we still color-code people then apply the "ethnic group" euphemism. We spent billions of tax dollars do it, too.

Funny. The indicators from where I live have little accuracy. There are far more Asians and black people than indicated, I live in a very diverse area and the only group which seems to isolate themselves are the Hispanics.
A funny thing happened too. My wife and I usually shop at a Winco on 212th ST in Kent. Last August we went to Mt Rainer (Rainier) for a day, On our way back we decided to stop at a new one in Sumner. We were about halfway through the store when I realized something was very different.
I said to my wife.
''Sweetie, do you see anything wrong with this picture?"
" No. What are you talking about?"
"Look around, what do you see."
Wife looks around, looks at me, turns head again and then her eyes widen.
"They're all white!!!!"
The look on her face was hilarious!!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl She has olive skin and she was the darkest person there.

When we were first assigned to Hill AFB, UT, it was a bit spooky because we'd just come from Japan - not so many white people. This place had so many blonde heads we thought we were in a Children of the Corn remake.
