conceited?.. health concise?... a combination?... but as long as they are healthy and not anorexic or bulimic then they can get away with it. [and by the way i wonder how many are Conservatives and if so do they owe the health movement of white women to the woman they all hate? JANE FONDA?!]

In the "White Women Only" gym for sure. There are a lot of gyms where the proportions are different, such as the:
"Only 12% white women allowed" gym.
It may just well depend on the ethnic breakdown of the community where the gym is, though this is wild speculation on my part.
Also, it may only mean something to anyone who is taking stock of the ethnicity within the gym setting such as the "Count Em Here Gym"
Other questions that are spawned by this keen observance:
1- Are they just there to clean?
2 - Are they there waiting for their husbands?
3 - What ethnic backgrounds do their husbands represent?
4 - How do you tabulate someone that is only 1/2 or 1/3 white?
It may also imply that white women are just now becoming aware of the fact that they comprise a majority of those who need exercise (gasp!)
This is a great question.
I think Kesha's answer below is the best, who cares who else is there, we just care about the curves :^{)

Depends on your location. Then again other races keep there shape without using machines and stuff... why use a treadmill when you can walk or run!? Or why lift weights if your body weight is the ideal weight to work out with?!
Anyway, I dont like the gym I get grossed out thinking that there are people who sweat and dont wipe off the machines... eeeooowww! I think thats why.. but Im generalizing

It's because you live in a different place where there's a majority of caucasian women, they are all you ever really notice, or caucasian women want to be fit and will work their *** of to be skinny.
Skinny isn't always pretty dammit. I want to actually gain some weight.

Well it'll really depend on the racial composition of the general area that your gym is in. The question should be if caucasian women are disproprtionately represented at the gym.
From my experience, not really.

In the few times I went to my wife's gym, I saw loads and loads of caucasians, very few other races represented

True. I think that they have more pressure as far as body image goes. I guess its a cultural thing. There is not as much pressure on minority women to stay as lean as caucasian women. In the African American community, our bodies are given more attention if they are more filled out, not to big, but full.

Who cares? It might just be you. Or more likely it could be the area you live in.

It's not just you, I too noticed that.
I wonder if they care about what they look like more than other nationalities?

you really pay attention to that, are you affended, maybe they just want a workout more than other different people. (That's kinda raciest just incase you haven't noticed yet)
