So I used an estimate of 250,000 to 400,000 blacks. If you want to tweak the upper bound on the estimate, that's fine, but it doesn't undermine the mathematical example I gave.
In other words, you made the number up, and now you are saying I can "tweak the upper bounds of the estimate" (which is purely your estimate based on nothing more than a guess).

Fine work, Mr. Actuary.

By the way, assuming your own estimate of 400,000 is correct, that would be one black for every 32 members, not 35 (so even your "mathematical example" was flawed based on your made up figures).
