Is that so? Here is only one of many sources that confirms my statement:

TABLE N2. RESIDENT BIRTHS BY RACE OF MOTHER AND SEX OF CHILD
NEW JERSEY, 1996
RACE MALE FEMALE MALE/FEMALE RATIO
WHITE 42,115 40,321 1.044
BLACK 10,231 9,926 1.031
OTHER 4,401 4,189 1.051
NOT STATED 1,612 1,534 1.051
TOTAL 58,359 55,970 1.043

P.S. To prevent future open-mouth-insert-foot situations I suggest you look up the statistics on the net first.

PPS Here is a more recent statistics from Italy. Notice the trend in ratio as age increases:

Sex ratio: at birth: 1.07 male(s)/female under 15 years: 1.06 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 0.99 male(s)/female 65 years and over: 0.7 male(s)/female total population: 0.94 male(s)/female (2001 est.)
