Kudos! However i'd expected to see France stats in percentages. Moreover, what you put down as Nigeria stats is very wrong!

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.
