percentage of population made up of racial minorities by country?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

The way they measured this in the census is ridiculous, but anyway (2006):

Asked by which "Ethnic group" you belonged to the responses were:

Irish 87.37%
Irish Traveller 0.54% (#1: LOL not an Ethnic group, a complete sop to the worst sort of leftie identity politics that they are counted and #2 I doubt it is anything like this high anyway.)
"Other White" 6.93% (See what the problem is?)
"African" 0.97%
"Other Black" 0.09%
Chinese 0.4%
"Other Asian" 0.86%
"Mixed" 1.1%
DNS 1.73%

These are best figures I can find (I imagine Jas has better ones). But you may see the point now of the old Irish demographer joke that along with Ulysses the greatest works of fiction produced in Ireland are the national censuses.

     What specifically do they mean by "Irish traveller?"
