The Census stats are incorrectly termed. White, Asian, and Black are races, not ethnicities. Hispanic is the only 'ethnicity', which can be of any race. If yuo quote the US Census, you must use its terminlogy.

2010 Census

Just to be clear yes there are references that say that there will now be 9 districts rather than 10, can someone provide a source on which of the 10 districts are to be absorbed to make nine? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is unknown now, but all nine districts will have to change to accommodate the numbers. All the districts will be completely redrawn; they will all have to be bigger because their numbers will change. There's no telling how any of the new districts will be numbered. But only one thing is certain: there will be nine districts, numbered one through nine.—Markles 03:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Just because this is the current 10th district though does not mean it will be the one effected. For example if the current 4th district were to go there would still be 9 districts then and not 10. Saying this is the district that will be eliminated is crystal balling as nobody does know for sure which district it will be so that is why the information saying that this is the district that will be gone is false. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:54, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - The point, however, is that there will no longer be a district called the "10th District" starting in 2013. Residents of Cape Cod, etc. will be represented in Congress as parts of some district, perhaps called the 1st or the 4th or the 9th. Moreover (and this is the most important part), ALL of the remaining districts will be completely changed to divide the residents of Massachusetts into nine equal districts. There's no telling, right now, how those nine will be configured: maybe the current 10th will be split between two or more districts or maybe it will be included as a part of only one other district. But after 2013, there will only be districts one through nine. See, for example, the articles we have here for the other obsolete districts, from Massachusetts's 11th congressional district through Massachusetts's 20th congressional district (and Massachusetts's at-large congressional seat).—Markles 18:18, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
