I also went through the US Census Population numbers and noticed that all of Milwaukee County is a non-white majority. Of the 947,735 residents on the 2010 Census, of that number 499,118 residents are of non-white ethnic heritage or they have 2 or more race or ethnic backgrounds. That comes out to 52.66% of the Milwaukee County population as non-white ethnic background. As the city went Melting Pot Majority, so now has Milwaukee County in overall numbers.

Quite interesting. My father is African-American, and born and raised in Milwaukee. I might want to tell him about this pretty soon. He still has some sentiments about his hometown(he is currently a metro Atlanta resident and missed some of the Midwestern culture). I have sentimental feelings towards Milwaukee because it is my father's hometown.
