Harvard Demographics

What's the diversity like at Harvard? I'm curious if this school offers a balance of perspectives and cultural backgrounds in terms of its student body. Does anyone know the approximate demographic breakdown of Harvard's current population, e.g. ethnicity, gender, nationalities, etc.?

Ethnicity:
