*Black and Latino populations declined, but not enough to prevent the city from growing 3.7%

Strange...the articles i've seen from SFgate and the SF examiner both have San Francisco with an increased latino population and a slight loss for the white population. I guess baycitizen might have their stats wrong (looks they already corrected that article once due to an error, so that may be another), but i don't feel like going through that crappy new american factfinder site to find out for sure right now. Then again, i'm also seeing some errors with the examiner stats for SF's 2000 census numbers, so who knows who is right right now...Could the discrepencies be caused by everybody getting confused by that crappy new factfinder website? LOL...it also doesn't help that the 2000 census stats are organized differently than they are now.
Anyways, the examiner's San Francisco stats (with a couple corrections to the 2000 data, by me):
White alone
2000 - 338,909 (43.6%)
2010 - 337,451 (41.9%)
Asian
2000 - 239,565 (30.8% -Asian alone)
2010 - 265,700 (33%)
black
2000 - 58,791 (7.8% -black alone)
2010 - 46,781 (5.8%)
Latino
2000 - 109,504 (14.1%)
2010 - 121,744 (15.1%)

the rise in Latino population definitely seems right to me, and backs up what i've been telling the naysayers who thought it had been dropping over the past decade. The mission is definitely a bit less Latino due to gentrification, but i've also definitely noticed more Latino presence in general through out the city. I noticed this with the Asian population to an even greater extent, so no surprises there.
