KSigRC--
You're right in what you're saying, and that has actually already been addressed and settled (I'm sure you didn't read all the replies because there are so many). Some people have been addressing whether or not the proportions will ever correlate with the census, and others have actually said that one day they would be 50/50 or 40/60 (obviously assuming dramatic changes in the make-up of the population).
I was aware of the census numbers when I tossed it out there, but just wanted to see what the responses were. I'm known to play devil's advocate
