这道题可能要从逻辑上来分析吧，我觉得这里amounts是伴随状态，应该以ing形式出现做non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority 的伴随状语。
所以我马上把自己的选择缩小到DE间。
which是可以修饰minority，但是应该不是minority amounts to a little less than half the population ，应该是non-Hispanic Whites ，他们在形成minority的同时amounts to a little less than half the population 。作者: winny莹 时间: 2010-9-11 20:56
再举个例子吧， OG114 From the bark of the paper birth tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feer wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage yet was so light that a person could easily portage it around impending rapids.
