2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: White Lives Electorally Matter!!! [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)103. OK many misread. OK is 75.1% White, the US 77.4% White...
While OK has just 7.7% African Americans compared to a national 13.2, they also have 9% Native American population compared to the national 1.2%. OK has 9.8% Latino, 2% Asian. 24.9% non white.
South Carolina has far more African Americans, 20% more, but less Native People, less Latinos, fewer Asians and far fewer persons who identify as more than one race-5.9% in OK, 1.7% in South Carolina.
For 'white alone' it's SC: 64.1% OK 68.7% and that's not much of a difference.
