What are the ethnic demographics in Queens? [View all] NurseJackie Oct 2019 OP

This: The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #1

Interesting. (Thank you.) NurseJackie Oct 2019 #2

"50% white, 28% Hispanic, 24% Asian, 21% black, and 3% mixed" equals 126% (n/t) thesquanderer Oct 2019 #5

Hispanics are often counted twice - as Hispanic and also as white or black StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #32

Not my figures. Direct cut and paste from the source. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #28

They add up to way more than 100%. brush Oct 2019 #29

Still, they're not my numbers. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #30

It's very diverse. Every faith and ethnic group is there and maybe a fourth is white. brush Oct 2019 #33

"IN" Queens, not "OF" Queens... George II Oct 2019 #14

Oh... I'm like... "Mostly middle-aged to older, wealthy..." jberryhill Oct 2019 #17

You can't get much more ethnic diversity than Queens. Every race and faith is there. brush Oct 2019 #13

Agreed. He definitely does not have the confidence (or support) of the AA community... NurseJackie Oct 2019 #19

His campaign would do better to get busy with GOTV efforts in those same housing projects. cwydro Oct 2019 #16

How can that be? Were all those white people bussed/took the train there? lunamagica Oct 2019 #36

He's actually doing the 2nd best with POC (Biden is obviously top there) If Pete were pulling Bernie Celerity Oct 2019 #34

They can simply be disorganized. Blue_true Oct 2019 #37

It is. My expectations and standards are higher. NurseJackie Oct 2019 #38

Swing and a miss. sheshe2 Oct 2019 #31

Queens County Census figures IronLionZion Oct 2019 #39

The crowd looks like Vermont. NurseJackie Oct 2019 #40

Maybe everyone else didn't want to take the day off to go to rallies IronLionZion Oct 2019 #41
