I'm a little fuzzy on the definitions of who is considered a "minority" race / ethnic group at MCPS now?[/quote]

Most Latinos are (and see themselves as) fully or partially white, so that anglo-racial way to look at trends is quite misleading.

You can certainly say that WASPs are a minority, but not Whites.[/quote]

You can’t really generalize Latinos.  Mexican families that immigrated to the US Southwest as well as many Cubans may consider themselves “white” but newer Central American Latinos in the DC area are more mestizo (native Indian) and basically consider being Hispanic a race separate from white.[/quote]

You can certainly access data from US Census.

Half of all Hispanics only mark White in the race box, the other half marks White AND Others.
