Miami is way more Hispanic (42 percent vs. just 4 percent), but it's just a little bit more black (21 percent vs. 17 percent), with a large Afro-Caribbean population. I'd say that the local markets could absolutely be driving the Hispanic figure, but not the white or black figures. Read more

There are legitimate gripes about Hollinger's stats, but that Kyle Weaver thing—which was essentially a website error—shouldn't really be one of them.
