Racial Demographic of SF

[Get Smart]

just curious.

the options are pretty general...

 

[whoopee]

I expect a disproportionate amount of Asians and the rest mostly white.

 

[SGladwell]

Oops. I misvoted. Take (the) one out of the "black" row and put it in the "white" row.

[Done. -j.]

 

[Tokyo Slim]

I'm only "asian" in the strictest sense. Basically I'm a cracker disguised as an asian who may actually think that he's black.

 

[nerdykarim]

I'm also "Asian" but I voted for other/Indian.

 

[skalogre]

What the hell am I, anyway? White? I am not american, and depending on what you read we are either in the middle east or Europe...

 

[shellshock]

i am "other" but im not indian/middle eastern either.

seriously these things drive me crazy... on forms and such.. "white (non hispanic) hmmm okay how about if i'm BOTH???

I have been mis-identified as a Jew before.

 

[Nantucket Red]

I'm the quintessential WASP -- easily pigeonholed.

 

[borace]

For what it's worth I'm an ageing UK Wasp.

According to the CIA World Factbook:

"white 81.7%, black 12.9%, Asian 4.2%, Amerindian and Alaska native 1%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2% (2003 est.)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.)"
