Best Answer

The total White population of the United States in 1970 was 89%

This answer took a little work to get for you but you can check it by looking for the document 1970a_us2-01 on the US Census Beaueau's web site.

http://www.census.gov/

The specific Document is at - http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/1970a_us2-01.pdf

Using report's 189 & 190 in the Document, I pulled out the following information

Total Male, and Femal for the following Ethnic Racial Compositions.

White, Negro, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Hawaiian, All Other Races

(Please note that in 1970 the politicaly correct to designate "Black's" was "Negro" times have changed.)

Placed all of this in an Excel Spread Sheet and did the calcuations

The total recorded population of the United States of America accordin to the US Census Beaurea in the 1970's was 228,301,075 = 100%

The White Male Population was 98,881,710 = 43%

The White Female Population was 104,328,448 = 46%

The Total White Population was 203,210,158 = 89%

The other missing 11% is comprised of the other Ethnic Groups mentioned

in the list above. Note the entire Black population was statiscially 10%

with the whole of all the others comprising a fraction of 1%

Hope this helps
