The census data for 2014 reveals that 3.9% of Alaska's population is "black alone."  It also reveals that 7.1% reported "two or more races."  Of the dual race respondents 4.3% reported as black.

But more importantly the article lacks information about the racial profiles of candidates for judge vacancies.  Isn’t that important in deciding if there really is a problem or simply a lack of qualified minority candidates?
