Big demographic changes afoot! http://madkiwi.org/2008/01/05/hilarious-big-demographic-changes-afoot/ http://madkiwi.org/2008/01/05/hilarious-big-demographic-changes-afoot/#comments Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:09:37 +0000 madkiwi http://madkiwi.org/2008/01/05/hilarious-big-demographic-changes-afoot/ Montana is pretty homogeneous, like 89.5% white. Add in 6% Native American and you can see there are not a lot of Hispanics (2%) or African Americans (2,365 persons or 0.3% of the total).

Well, according to the U.S Census Bureau, by 2025 the population of Montana will decrease by about 22,000- but the numbers of African Americans will increase by 136.

Makes you wonder if people who do this for a living bother with “margins of error”.

See the story here…

It still weirds me out, being from California. I am not used to seeing only white people all the time. Could we get more minorities here please?

Friends and family that are interested can find photos on Flickr and the genealogy stuff is now over at quiettoad.net. I haven’t decided what to do about all the old photos that used to be in the gallery here. I suppose eventually I’ll put them up on the Flickr page. If there’s anything you’re looking for, just post a reply here and I’ll see what I can do.

Here’s a cute kitten photo for your amusement:

I, on the other hand, came home exhausted again from my draining job, trying to put trucks together with no support from Nissan Diesel Japan. I wonder why I am bothering.
