Lots and lots of white people.
The racial breakdown of Eagle Mountain was listed as a selling point on the Web site of home builder Bigg Homes.
The site also included this comparison among others: "Black race population percentage significantly below state average."
"Significantly below" was in bold.
David Adams, co-owner of Bigg Homes, removed the racial information from the site after being contacted by The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday.
"We apologize if that offended anybody. It wasn't our intention," he said. "Frankly, it is offensive to me, too."
Adams said the information didn't come from his company.
A Web designer contracted to build the Bigg Homes site copied information from another Internet address, www.city-data.com, according to Adams. The information in almost the exact same format does appear on city-data.com.
"We noticed it immediately," Adams said. "We asked him to remove it."
That was two months ago.
"It wasn't done. It's done now," he said.
Adams is "considering" firing the Web designer. He refused to identify that man or the company he works for.
