Yes, if you choose to subdivide white people in this manner. If that’s the case, why lump all Torontonian Asians together?

I’m following the Census Bureau categorization. Those are the official splits in the US: White, Asian, Black, Hispanics (of any race).

US Census asks about race and ethnicity—that’s why we have two different numbers that are both correct. A great deal of Hispanic New Yorkers identify as white.

I’m aware. I even mentioned that above: Hispanics (of any race). Census usually shows “non-Hispanic” for the Asian, Black, White groups.

It’s why Census data is usually presented as four groups: https://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US3651000-new-york-ny/

The point was was originally making was that this is a weird way of talking about diversity, since there are so many disparate groups in these groupings.
