My graduating class (just counted the pics)

Arab - 39 [19%] (North African, Middleastern, etc. Mostly Lebanese)
Black - 12 [6%] (mostly Black Arabs)
White - 127 [61%] (Mostly Anglo-Saxon, lots of Italians, and Eastern Europeans)
South Asian - 10 [5%] (Indian)
Asian - 18 [9%] (Mostly Chinese and Southeast Asian. 1 Japanese that I know of)
Native - 2 [1%] (maybe 3, but 2 that I knew of)
Hispanic - 1 [0%] (that I know of)


Went on visibile signs of race or last name for the mixed people or if I wasn't sure.

45% White
30% Black
20% Hispanic
5% Asian/Other

Asians were screwed over at my magnet high school because they were considered White before HISD got rid of the quota system (which was after freshman year)

Mix of white and black... There were very few hispanics or any other kind of makeup. I lived in Monongahela which was whiter than Utah, and we had kids from a bunch of different areas like Donora which was predominantly a black neighborhood.

30% Irish
40% German
30% Polish
30% Italian
10% English
30% Slovak or other general Eastern European
10% other

Yes, I intentionally made this to represent more than 100%.  I'm going by acctual estimates of ethnicity (for instance, being both Irish and German, I would put myself in both categories)... I think we had 1 black kid and a bunch of Asians... many of them exchange students.

Not even one minority of any sort?  Wow, that's amazing to me, even for Alaska.

Hmmm. There was a subtle joke in my post.

I was homeschooled in junior and high school.

The biggest groups were Irish and Italians. IT was above 90% white with a few blacks and even fewer latins/asians.

100% White

(unless you count kids of Turkish immigrants as "non-white", which I would not do)

In recent years though, even rural Austria has gotten more non-white and there are some black high-school students around as well. But it's still about 99%.

Let's simply check the 4 senior class pictures from this year out of the school in Zell am See which I went to:

Yeah, still 100% White.
