My mother is a Maine Indian and my father is a white Texan. I never really thought about it that much. I know race is supposed to be based on physical characteristics and enthnicity on culture. Broadly, American Indians have a lot of physical characteristics with Asians, but if the whole land bridge theory is accurate (then most of us have lost a good number of asian characteristics (no one in my tribe has epicanthic folds, for example), and I can identify members of specific tribal groups based on physical characteristics (within certain geographic limits) and other tribal members I hadn’t met before even recognise me as a Penobscot by my bone structure even though I’ve got my father’s Irish-Scottish skin tone.

On the other hand, it probably make the most sense to limit race to three broad groups, because otherwise where do you stop? However, I’d probably use the term Asiatic over Asian. First, because I’ve never been to Asia and I haven’t had an ancestor from there going back at least 12000 years and also because we’ve developed some distinct charactertics of our own in all that time, even if they are overall subtle enough not to be classified as a separate race from people’s living in Asia. A lot of the west coast tribes do have a lot more physical traits in common with modern asian people though. That said, I’m good with the story that Glooskap made the Abenaki (and later Penobscot) people by shooting arrows a ash trees... or Adam and Eve... as my tribe has been mostly Christian for a very long time... in any case, I’m flexible and willing to look at it from any perspective, but I guess there’s a side of me that will always be more fond of the words of storytellers than academics.

Utah is 89% white according to the 2010 census. It should be on the list.

I’m guessing that Jackson Hole brings in a lot of Hispanics and others to clean, etc. for the tourists and the rich folks. Years ago I worked on oil rigs in Wyoming and a lot of guys with Mexican heritage on them.

I understand. My list was percentages, not totals.

I’m an Alabamian. There are rural blacks in the South that white liberals cannot comprehend. Conservative, Christian, hard-working folks.

Can we use this on Elizabeth Warren?? :)

Wiki says Idaho is 91.3% white, but that INCLUDES Hispanics and Latinos. Non-Hispanic white is 78%.

Even the ATF Form 4473 distinguishes hispanic/non-hispanic as a separate question from race. I check the non-hispanic and white checkboxes on the form.

Why is there a distinction? The reason is criminal activity. When you separate the hispanic from non-hispanic white groups, you get a significantly higher rate of crime in the hispanic/white group. Lumping them together was masking the hispanic contribution to the statistical analysis. My wife enters criminal history data as part of her job as a police dispatcher. The hispanic/non-hispanic and racial details are part of the entry.

I was surprised to see Idaho miss the top 10 until the hispanic/non-hispanic detail was included. We have a significant hispanic population in Blackfoot and Twin Falls areas. Much of that is driven by agricultural labor.

The demographic categories now include an element labeled, "two or more races" as a catch-all that will probably grow over time. In the Pocatello area, we have some Hispanic people from agricultural labor and quite a few Shoshone/Bannock Native Americans. There was a brief increase of Saudis sending kids to school at Idaho State University. That is pretty much over after many of them engaged in behavior embarrassing enough to be called home permanently. There is now a mosque at the south end of town (an old taco shop) for the few that remain. Overall, it's a nice town with a great mix of people.

I've worked in Alabama on business trips. I have to agree, the black people there are nice, friendly people. A refreshing contrast to what I've encountered around Chicago. In Pocatello, we have an Elmer's Restaurant across from Idaho State University. If you're there on a Sunday morning, you'll encounter a large group of friendly, well dressed black people enjoying breakfast after church. Reminded me of my visits to Alabama.

One of my cousins married an archaeologist who was a Paleo Indian expert-he showed and told us about the archaeological evidence that tthe 1st people to come to the Americas were from coastal areas of what is now France and Spain-part of the Solutrian culture-they appear to have come 25-30,000 years ago-the sea level was low enough to make the trip relatively easy.

The Asiatic people from Siberia came across the land bridge 13,000 years ago or so and the two began to interbreed when they met-DNA evidence says Native Americans are a mix of the two-some tribes more Caucasian, some more Asiatic. In parts of South America, some tribes have a lot of Polynesian and/or Japanese DNA, too.

My ancestors were mostly from the Spanish Pyrenees-Spanish Basques. They got on ships to Mexico in the 16th century, intermarried with some Aztecs, Chichimecs and other Spaniards-most of them ditched Mexico in the 1780’s and moved their livestock and horses to what is now West Texas and New Mexico to ranch and marry some Apaches and fought for independence from Spain in 1821-Basques apparently have never liked the Spanish government much-they still don’t...

In the 1830’s, a several X’s great grandmother married a West Prussian/Spanish adventurer, everybody fought for Texas independence, and we’re all still here.

So I’m a mestizo-mixed Spanish and Native American. We are mostly light to medium olive in color-I’m one of several in my family with red hair and gray green eyes, like many Basques-but I have family members with dark blonde, brown and black hair, brown eyes, blue eyes-the whole color spectrum. I find the origins and travels of early peoples fascinating-and I don’t understand this obsession with race/ethnicity that liberals have at all...

Up here in North Idaho, there are few ag jobs and few Hispanics. White here is probably 95% or more. Of course, the ten counties here have a little over 300 thousand people spread across 21,000 square miles.
