This is probably because the state of Montana has a 90.6% white population and a 6.2% American Indian population. There are only 2,700 [1] black people living in the state, it looks to me like they're exactly showing the racial diversity of the state. Sure, they could have a single black person so the numbers are correct but then someone will just complain about them including a single, token black person. The Billing specific census information is a little bit older but has the same 0.3% figure for black people [2] - that puts their total black population at 270/95,220.
