If 3 percent of the population is Asian and Hispanic combined, and these two groups are being counted separately, then the percentage of the population that is Asian would be less than 3 percent. Without more specific data on the proportion of Hispanic people in the population, we can't determine the exact percentage that is Asian.

Yes, there are cars here in The Bahamas. Quite alot actually, with traffic.

hi,

i live in the bahamas and have been going to school here for 5 years after i moved from Seattle for buisness with my dad ,mom, and sister.. i am extremley happy we are moving back to Seattle next year because the school systems here suck . the teachers don't care if you pass or fail, and the average grade for this country is a 'd'. some children cant read, or spell. ( 10 % of children ) . Ive attended their public school which is worst because children have shot there teachers before so....... they would try to shoot you. i have been to private school which is not as good but better. PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE BAHAMAS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. these children in the schools do not know many things that a 6 year old in a American school would know. they also HAVE to do religion- they cannot worship any other God but the one they are taught about ( i am a christian, so it was a easy pass )

i am 14 and if i was staying in the Bahamas i would've been going in the 11th grade. normally their students graduate at 16, . I'm not trying to be defensive, but Bahamian education is horrible. THANK God for America!
