[edit] Dispute over stats
Lumping in the Inuit and the Greenland-born ethnic Scandinavians as one group seems absolutely absurd in a "Demographics of Greenland" article. Naturally, people would want to know the absolute and relative sizes of these two groups.68.100.106.83 05:48, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Ethnic Scandinavians, whether born in Denmark or Greenland, would more usefully be lumped together and opposed to the Inuit, I think. Stupid CIA. john k 08:05, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

- Ethnologue, btw, gives 48,000 Inuit speakers and 8,000 Danish speakers. That gives us a breakdown of 86% Inuit, 14% Danish. Which doesn't fit too well with the CIA numbers, which imply some decent number of non-Inuits within the 87% native-born Greenlander population. john k 08:07, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
