Talk:Mobile, Alabama

Add ancestries.

Not done. That data somehow adds up to be less than 30% and likely much less depending on the percentage of people that claim multiple ancestries. Other city articles, like Ann Arbor, Michigan, use the more clear demographic data on total population count plus ethnicity, age, households, and sometimes languages spoken.
