I had a very interesting conversation with someone just this week. They were from Europe and this was their first visit to the US. Guess what amazed them the most? Their exposure to the US was television. They honestly believed from watching US TV that we were at least 60% plus minority and most of that was black. What amazed them the most after visiting NY, Boston, a couple other smaller cities and some rural US was how many white people actually lived here. They couldn't believe the distorted view they got from US television. Their most shocking comment was that almost all our news broadcasters were black. They just didn't understand what was happening here.
Shocked me that folks from overseas would notice that.
