# Whilst googling found this
Clicky for Map of minorities in america
I was wondering even if a group is a minority over an entire country
is it really right to call them a minority if they take up 97.6% of the population of an area
as clearly atleast one of the areas does

# some are clearly transparent

# Yes, in proportion to the population of the country they are still a minority
A black man in a chair would compromise 100% population of the chair, but still be a minority in this country.
Nice map though, very revealing

# Sorry if I took that a bit too seriously
But I study Politics.
Bit of a misleading map as the two main ethnic minorities in America, ie the blacks and the hispanics are unrelated culturally and geographically, so lumping them together proves nothing useful

# The number of 'minorities' in the south
is more to do with black people, as that is where they worked as slaves in the last century on the cotton plantations etc. they haven't totally dispersed throughout america yet. The Hispanics are generally a more recent phenomenon, and are more widespread, but principally in California, where demand for cheap labour is high, and Mexicans illegaly enter the country to work there.
