(Percentages don’t equal 100 because the whole idea of “race” is horrific, contemptable, and otherwise really deeply offensive on so many levels that it’s hard to express. The very concept of “race” is fundamentally divisive. Don’t be divisive. Reject “race.” Accept people as people. End of mini-rant.)
