  There are about 22 million non-European Americans, mainly Black Americans, Red Indians, Latin Americans and other peoples.

  The Red Indians number about 600,000.They are the natives of America.They look somewhat like Tibetans.They are not red, but brown.They were called Indians by mistake.When Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, he thought he had landed in India and called the people Indians.

  The Black people had a sad history.Nearly all of them are descendants(后裔)of Africans brought from Africa to America sold as slaves in the 17th and 18th centuries.Today, they are about 21 million in number or 11 percent of total American population.Most of them lived in the South till the 1930s and since then more and more were leaving the South to look for work in the industrial North.Today, 60 percent of Black Americans live in New York, Chicago and other big cities.

  Mexicans who belong to Latin Americans are the 2nd biggest minority nationality.Most of them are immigrant(移民)farm workers.The Puerto Ricans, from the island of Puerto Rica off the coast of Florida, live mostly in the slums(贫民窟)of big cities like New York and Chicago.These two peoples like the Afro-Americans mostly live below the poverty line.

  There are Chinese people living in America, too-almost a quarter of million(the exact figure is 236,000).Many of them went to America about 100 years ago to build the railways there.They suffered a great deal.Today, most Chinese Americans live in California(a state facing the Pacific Ocean)and New York, and also in Hawaii, and archipelago(群岛)in the mid-Pacific, which is counted as the 50th state of the U.S.A.

  A special firefighting team from Tahsis that is on standby in Duncan to fight wildfires had their truck and all their gear stolen Tuesday night from the motel where they are staying.

  The Red Devils Fire Crew didn't hear the thieves take the vehicle, even though the rented white Ford F-350 Diesel was taken from its parking space right outside their door.

  The fire crew was on 20-minute standby for any forest fires on Vancouver Island.

The Ministry of Forests has supplied the Red Devils with enough borrowed gear to do their job, but without their specialized equipment, the task is much harder.

  Still, fire crew member Derrick Kasper averred, “We'll go in our bare feet if we have to.”

  The team figures they've lost about $ 7,000 worth of equipment. They will be keeping their replacement gear locked in their hotel room to prevent further losses.

  Police say it isn't clear whether the Devils' truck was intentionally targeted.
