On a related note, following the pattern from post # 19, the Democrat percentages work out this way:

24.57 - White - 48.21%
10.65 - Hispa - 20.90%
_3.65 - Asian - _7.16%
12.09 - Black - 23.72%
-------................-------
43.30 - Total -100.00% (rounding difference)

Think about the national political conventions. If you randomly picked people from all across the country to attend the RNC, it would look a lot like what you saw in Tampa this summer, with the exception of too many blacks and not enough Asians. If you randomly picked people from the say top 10 metropolitan statistical areas, my guess would be it would look a lot like what you saw in Charlotte at the DNC.

Looking at census data from NYC
White persons, percent, 2010 (a) 44.0%
Black persons, percent, 2010 (a) 25.5%
American Indian and Alaska Native persons, percent, 2010 (a) 0.7%
Asian persons, percent, 2010 (a) 12.7%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, percent, 2010 (a) 0.1%
Persons reporting two or more races, percent, 2010 4.0%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin, percent, 2010 (b) 28.6%

Thank you, both interesting summations.

I’d imagine this would be the first year that an absolute majority of the Democrats’ votes are attributed to racial minorities?
