I know that a number of the posters are Jewish but that seems to be the largest minority group. I am not seeing a lot of Asian names, for example. Given the history of the New World, guessing at skin colour from surnames is iffy at best but offhand I can only recall one living poster who has mentioned that they are black [1].
