 Does anyone have a ball-park figure for the ratio of caucasians to 
minorities in the UK? I know in america the figure varies by region 
(I have no clue what the numbers here are, but you get a feel for 
what the mix of an average crowd is). If the UK is more heavily 
caucasian than america we americans would see an accurate ethnic 
student population as skewed. Someone from the UK (or a statistician)
would have to tell us if the ethnic mix feels right. I do know that 
the ethnic mix of Hogwarts would be completely off in Texas, given 
our proximity to Mexico.
