Prince George's County is the most racially diverse county in Maryland, and Baltimore City ranks second.
Detailed racial breakdowns from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that minority groups account for 80.8 percent of the residents of Prince George's County, part of the Washington, D.C., suburbs.
The corresponding figure for Baltimore City is precisely 70.4 percent, based on the results of the 2010 federal census.

We need some other wording. "Majority minority" is an oxymoron. How about "majority non-white"?

Saying that a county that is 80% black is diverse while one that is 80% white is not diverse is akin to Orwellian Newspeak and the kind of drivel routinely from loonies who parrot but nevertheless reject Dr. King's dream and judge everyone and every issue by skin color.
#2 - Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:10 AM EDTIt's a shame when someone posts on an article they didn't read. The Census clearly says Prince George's County has 64.467% black. They have 80% non-white, which means about 20% white, and 15% other races. Many people who identify as black are really multi-racial, but they may not know what their background is. I live in Prince George's, I'm white, and I think it's great to live in a multicultural county!
