so yeah, a horribly unrepresentative state. (sarcasm thingy)

And then there are Asian Americans and Native Americans and I bet there percentage in S.C. is a lot different than the U.S. average and on and on it goes.

(That 12.8% U.S. is non-Hispanic African Americans, I couldn't find the African American population including Hispanic African Americans in a quick Google search, but that might be an additional percent)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
