COMMENTARY

Lucy 24th August 2011	There Are A Substantial Number Of East And South East Asians In Nigeria And Living There Too, Integrating With Nigerian People For Ages. Some Nigerian People Are Even Part Asian
Hugh Jass 28th July 2011	Nice bar graph.
Adams 22nd July 2011	Kudos! However i'd expected to see France stats in percentages. Moreover, what you put down as Nigeria stats is very wrong!
Astrit 12th January 2011	1.Where is Albania and Kosova? 2.How come the ethnicity in serbia is not correct?
Rebecca 17th April 2010	What about little people?! How many little people are in the World or United States?
pravin shukla 6th December 2009	thanx sir, this information was really helpful for me.
Alfred 1st June 2009	I was looking for Uzbekistan, and it wasnt on the list.
D 2nd November 2005	This is an exceptionally poor page. First, the stats represented are not uniform in definition. Specifically, while "White", "Black", etc, are used to define ethnicities in the US, most other countries primarily have their ethnicities listed by tribe. Most importantly, "Black", "White", etc, are not ethnicities, they are races, of which there are only 3. (Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid). Ethnicity is characterized far less by biology than it is shared cultural and linguistic heritage and identification. Finally, the US has significant populations from every country on the planet, and many communities comprised of those who were themeselves of very small sub-groups in their home countries. To not see this recognized on an otherwise excellent website is deeply disappointing, especially as this is a unique characteristic of the US not seen anywhere else on the planet that I, as an American, am deeply proud of.
Kay 10th October 2005	Are you sure that those stats for australia's ethnicities are correct? and when were they last updated?
