(it’s fake. It’s all a lie. Most people think just like you do, but the media has brainwashed Americans with constant broadcasting of “LIES!)

I question the statistic for Hispanic. If one counts both legal and illegal it is much, much higher. And the evidence is everywhere we go there are lots of people speaking Spanish and apparent Hispanic.

What percentage of the country is black? Answer: 41%.

What percentage is "Latino? Answer: 39%.

If that were true, then 39+41 = 80% of the country would be Black or Latino, meaning that "all else" (White, Asian, Indian, etc.) could account for max. 20%.

"Why these estimates are so inaccurate?"

That's easy: People can't do math!

If you estimated the number of mixed marriages in this country from just watching commercials you would think it is about 75%. And most of those are comprised of a black man and a white woman. I don’t know if that is just to appeal to more ethnic groups or if they are trying to shove some idea down our throats.

"recevd an e-mail froom my friend and checked it out."

Sounds about right, but without a source attribution it may itself be relegated as propaganda. When will conservatives learn this? Doing there homework for them, here is a page of survey links from https://today.yougov.com, from which I find (using Google site search) this poll:

​​From millionaires to Muslims, small subgroups of the population seem much larger to many Americans

When people’s average perceptions of group sizes are compared to actual population estimates, an intriguing pattern emerges: Americans tend to vastly overestimate the size of minority groups. This holds for sexual minorities, including the proportion of gays and lesbians (estimate: 30%, true: 3%), bisexuals (estimate: 29%, true: 4%), and people who are transgender (estimate: 21%, true: 0.6%).

It also applies to religious minorities, such as Muslim Americans (estimate: 27%, true: 1%) and Jewish Americans (estimate: 30%, true: 2%). And we find the same sorts of overestimates for racial and ethnic minorities, such as Native Americans (estimate: 27%, true: 1%), Asian Americans (estimate: 29%, true: 6%), and Black Americans (estimate: 41%, true: 12%).

No mention of Latinos, and this this email may be using more than one poll. while WP reports, that "As of 2020, the Census Bureau estimated that there were almost 65.3 million Hispanics and Latinos living in the United States and Puerto Rico (19.5% of the overall population)."

From the article:

So black men make up about 6% to 6.5% of the population. That small number is responsible for over half the murders annually in America!

If you figure most of the murderers in this demographic are under age 30, then it is also accurate to say about 3% of the population commit over half the murders in this country.

Then the Social Justice Warriors and other "Do Gooders" wonder why people of common sense carefully watch young black men.

The transgender population is 0.3%, not 1%.

What percent of American's live in NY city? Answers? 30% Actual 3%.

I suspect part of the stupidity lies in where the polling took place.

If you watch TV you'd think there are only two places in America: New York City and Los Angeles.
