It's All About Racism After All

Occupy activists clash after internal study reveals the group's demographics. http://biggovernment.com/jpollak/2011/11/04/racism-occupy-activists-clash-after-internal-survey-shows-occupywallstreet-81-2-white-1-6-black/#more-367600
FTA: Some activists were outraged, however, that the survey results and the infographic show Occupy Wall Street to be 81.2 percent white, and only 1.6 percent black.
By comparison, the U.S. population is 77.1 percent white and 12.9 percent black, according to the U.S. Census Bureau http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=01000US&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U_QTP5&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U –making the Occupy Wall Street movement disproportionately white.

If you ask me, I'd say the survey also reveals Occupy Wall Street to be mathematically challenged. 81.2 plus 1.6 leaves 17.2 percent unaccounted for in the article. Are these perhaps the activists who were, by the time of the survey, so grungy that they were unrecognizable?
