New York!

So, you all know all about our state fair project, right? We have to research your state (that you picked) and have a presentation, a 3-way board, a fact sheet, and a brochure. Anyway, just in case you don't know, I am lucky enough to chose New York...but only because I chose it early! Well, just now I was trying to find out which city has a bigger population: Albany (the capital) or New York City (the major city). (I did this because I was bored.) So, I found out that - of course - NYC has more people. As I was looking through the page about New York City, I found the part about the races in this fabulous city. This is what it said:

Races in New York:
White Non-Hispanic (35.0%)
Hispanic (27.0%)
Black (26.6%)
Other race (13.4%)
Two or more races (4.9%)
Chinese (4.5%)
Asian Indian (2.1%)
American Indian (1.1%)
Korean (1.1%)
Other Asian (1.0%)
Filipino (0.7%)

I was amazed. The [awesome] Filipino race actually made the list. So what if it was last? So what if it was only .7%? It's still in my blood. I love my hertiage, and will be proud of it till death...and beyond!
