  1. First of all, the ethnic statistics of the Bahamas are misleading for a few reasons. First, the 85% black population includes mixed-race individuals; this category comprises the majority of Bahamians. Second, there are families such as the Fernander family that are originally of Spanish origin (Fernandez), but had their surname anglicized into "Fernander" and their Spanish ethnicity swallowed up into the overlapping category of "Bahamian" - particularly during the "majority rule" push of the 60s and 70s.
    Also, "white" includes immigrants from Lebanon, Syria, and other Arabic-speaking nations, which is an assignation that people from other nations might not make so readily.
