It was interesting to read the following information provided by Ferdie:
Currently, there are 9 million donors in the registry and Caucasians make up 74 of percent of all donors. Ethnic groups such as: African Americans, Hispanics and Asians combined, make up 23 percent. Alarmingly, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and Multi-Ethnic make up only 3 percent. This makes Hawaii, a state with many Ethnic and Multi-Ethnic groups, a prime location for finding and registering more potential donors.
