African-American percentage of U.S.A. olympic team?

[yeoman]

Very impressive to see the U.S. athletes at the closing ceremony. I wonder what percentage of total U.S. are African-American. Just curious. Anyone know/guess?

Who cares?

Just to clarify...question is "what percentage of U.S. Olympic athletes are African-American", if anyone happens to know.

Higher than at the Winter Games, I can tell you that much.

Like I said, who cares?

john, ya beat me to it.

All American.

I'm SO tired of *****-American (pick your hyphen) as an identity. I refer to myself as an "American American".

I thought you were an Ohio/American?

[Racer X]

if you feel you need to qualify what sub-type of american you are, you aren't a real american as far as i am concerned.
