For example, consider that in some cities in the Southern US
   non-caucasion people are the majority.  However, in the entire
   country they are still a minority.

And in the whole world non-caucasion are a majority.

   [...] PC's outnumber dumb terminals vastly.

Not true, since PC's get used as dumb terminals.  So you have the
classic dumb terminals like VT-320's, in addition to terminals that
are PC's.  So dumb terminals out number the amount of PC's.

   Then you have a globally differentiated system.  The _average_ user
   does not run a 25 CPU box at home.

That is why it is called a `server'.

   Many large companies MAY do so, but you're still looking at only a
   potential of a few million users compared to a few BILLION users.

You realise that more users use dumb terminals than their own machines
right?

   For proof you need look only to where the money is: What sells
   more, PC's or NC's?

A PC is what in this context? A dumb terminal? Server?  Once again
you're making absurd comparsions between two completely different
things.  What sells more: servers or client machine?  OBVIOUSLY client
machines, but that doesn't say anything of what is more used, which
are the servers.
