No, blacks are about 13 percent of the population of US. Asians about another 4 and the rest about another percent or so, which includes Native Americans.

2008 numbers, this has grown some since but as you can see,
white’s in the U.S. make up about 65% of the U.S. population. 35% of the U.S. is minorities, a much larger population % than Canada’s.
