Is this correct? I thought the Hispanic and the black are like 40~% already, the picture still give you the impression that non-white is something just like 5% Also, there are only two melting-pots, one in NY and one at CA, per the picture.

Well, a lot of the blue you're seeing is in rural areas. It looks like a lot, but it's pretty low-density.
