How to show percent on a card visual (multi-select field).

Hi all- 

I am new to Power BI -  hoping someone can help. I have race/ethnicity data for some people in my organization that is multi-select. I have also added a conditional column: race_categorized where if there is a semicolon, enter "multiracial." Otherwise if they entered Asian, enter Asian. If they entered Indigenous, enter Indigenous, etc. I want to display two cards on a dashboard that show Percent White and Percent Person of Color (POC).

The % white card should display: out of the people who answered (remove blanks and "Prefer not to answer"), __% identified as only white. In my sample data here it should be 37.5%. 

 

The % POC card should display: out of the people who answered (remove blanks and "Prefer not to answer"), __% identified as anything else. In my sample data here it should be 62.5%.

 

I can't figure out how to get the card visual to display what I want. How can I do this? Thank you for any insight!
