I don't think this is a joke. North Dakota has one of the highest Native American populations of any state. I tried it before Georgia.

Whilst it has a large Native American population compared to other states, at 7.9% (per Wikipedia) it's not really large enough to make a big impact for the purposes of this quiz. North Dakota is still very white - 73.5%.

North Dakota is 90% white as of 2010 and has the lowest % of non-white of any state in the country..

Outside of the Northern Virginia DC suburbs, Richmond, and Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads area most of the state is pretty "white" (not really a thing)... but those 3 areas are where most of the population is so yeah maybe it's a little surprising.

They do have the highest African American population, but the demographic trend seems to be where Latinos are moving.

Definitely. African-Americans are the most visible minority because of this country's complicated and often reprehensible history with that group, but Hispanics are a larger group. I think African-Americans make up about 13% of the population, but Hispanics make up almost 20%. Asians are around 5-6%. I think the white population is like 60% of the total population.

In contrast with our tame history with every other group.

Fun fact: the blackest major city in the country is Jackson, Mississippi—80.45%! Baltimore is "only" 60.42%.

Ugh, don't remind me. What a miserable city, up in the ranks of Providence or Baltimore.

My tip is to go into Vicksburg, then take 61-3-49 up to MS-12. You'll see a lot of great scenery.

Huh? Colorado is a state, and large in area but not in population. Utah and Oklahoma are also relatively close to Mexico but neither are on the list.
