And Eskimos are the minority in Alaska? I need to get some Northern Exposure DVD's.

And, yes, the Natives are in the minority here.

This is how it breaks out, Alaska compared to the rest of the U.S.

Ethnicity ......................................Alaska............U.S.
White............................................73.3%...........77.0%
Black or African American........................ 3.7%...........12.6%
American Indian and Alaska Native................16.5%............0.9%
Asian............................................ 4.2%........... 3.7%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander....... 0.6%........... 0.1%
Hispanic or Latino (of any race)................. 4.4%.......... 12.9%
Other............................................ 1.7%........... 5.6%

Another set of statistics I saw looks like this:

White 463,999
African American 27,147
Hispanic or Latino 25,852
Asian 32,686
American Indian or Alaska Native 119,241
Hawaiian / Pacific Islander 5,515
Other 15,151



There seems to be a little disparity between these, but it's close.

15. Anybody white who tells an African American she "feels his pain"
is a catagory 5 dumbass!

I think I last tried that line when I was 16 and told my African American friend (it was 1971, I only knew one in those days!!) that "we minorities" were in the trenches together--trying to validate my cred by being half-Jewish. Boy, did my friend shoot me down! After they mopped me off the floor, where I'd liquified in shame, I swore I would never be so insensitive again.

Point I'm making: I WAS A FUCKIN TEENAGER!!!! How arrested is this Palin bitch's arrested development anyway????
