2006 census ACS: America is 66% "White"

[Ralph1]

The American Community Survey is taken every year. America is 66% "white" alone not Hispanic or Latino. This is the link http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/DTTable?_bm=y&-state=dt&-context=dt&-ds_name=ACS_2006_EST_G00_&-CONTEXT=dt&-mt_name=ACS_2006_EST_G2000_B03002&-tree_id=306&-redoLog=true&-_caller=geoselect&-geo_id=01000US&-search_results=01000US&-format=&-_lang=en.
This is how the census defines White: "White – A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish." It's on page 74 http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/2006/usedata/Subject_Definitions.pdf. This means many Muslims are classified as White and when they commit crime the FBI will categorize it as White. The FBI doesn't even have a Hispanic classification in it's annual crime report. I wonder what the real White percentage is.

"I wonder what the real White percentage is."

Very low according to Larry Elder.

"white" is a vague term, and hispanics are not a racial group, some hispanics, indeed, are Caucasoid, often Mediterranean in decent.

66% ? What the hell..?!

And havn't the other 34% made America's cities such wonderful places? (sarcasm off)

As far as white crime, I think the arabs are commiting most of it under "white." I thought they were middle eastern according to the u.s. census. Strange, I think a better definition would be to include euro-americans and jewish-americans (ashkenazi, sephardic etc.) as "white." Most arabs have mixed with blacks because of slavery. I'm pretty sure arabs invented slavery.

for those of us who are jewish but from middle eastern decent, do we fill out white causecoid or white middle eastern?

They why aren't 66% of our prisons White?? It's because of Black culture and Illegal Aliens

You know, I wouldn't care much about race (aside from aesthetic preferences) if everybody was contributing to the place being built up, civilized, advanced, and prosperous. Unfortunately, that's not the case, time and again it's proven, this is from objective observation, no prejudiced involved, civilized, advanced, and prosperous = white,  uncivilized, backwards, decay = non-white; So this 66% white figure is naturally disturbing. I just hope a large number of that 44% is oriental, I really do, orientals are also civilized and advanced, a bit culturally alien for my tastes but at least they won't bring the house down.

some Jews do not even count as white, and I believe Chaim has defended other minorities that are not contributing to our crime-rate.
