LENGHTH: 2 TO 3 PARAGRAPHS

Description: This exercise allows you to explore what percent of the U.S. and Los Angeles population describes themselves as various ethnic groups. 



Instructions: Go http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/ (Links to an external site.)

Scroll down til you get to race in the table.

Look at the numbers for the United States.

Write Up: Write up a commentary on what these numbers mean to you, if they surprise you, if there are implications to them, and anything else you would like to include. Given how much the ethno-racial makeup of Los Angeles differs from the United States as a whole, do you think this has an effect on how you perceive race relations?
