Really?
I've heard that Facebook has a couple of dozen different categories from which to choose the best descriptor of one's sexual orientation. Has the breakdown of racial categories become so diffuse that Caucasians represent such a small portion. Am I now classified by State green shades as a Danish-American?
Or, less provocatively, was it just a typo?
Typos across the board, essentially cut percentages in half. Here's the actual table from http://www.cpec.ca.gov/StudentData/DiversityReport.ASP:
[table][tr][td] Ethnicity | Degree Recipients (Undergraduate) | State Population 18 to 24 |
Asian/Pac Is | 34.64% | 11.55% |
Black | 3.04% | 7.79% |
Filipino** | 4.83% | |
Latino | 14.53% | 43.51% |
Nat Amer | 0.60% | 1.05% |
Other | 2.37% | 2.57% |
White | 39.99% | 33.54% |
| ** Population numbers for Asian/Pacific Islander include Filipino. | ||
