THAT is interesting to me. Where I am, you are asked, not if you are black, white Hispanic, etc, but if you are AMERICAN. I live in a college town, so it is VERY diverse (at least the college-aged folks). In my neighborhood (on my BLOCK), there are people from Trinidad, Jamaica, England, Germany, Puerto Rico (yay, my roommate, lol), and more that I am forgetting.
I am from Atlanta though, which is REALLY diverse. My neighborhood up there was about 50/50 whites-to-blacks.
Tom Earp, not sure if 48 + 48 + 10 = 100...lol. Just messing with ya!
