In the article "The New Face of America," Veronica Majerol brought up an interesting fact about Americas population. Last spring Census Burea announed that a shift in our nation has risen. The birth of minorites are out numbering the white.
The manority of the population is made up of with Hispanic, African American,, American Idiana, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Alaska Native.
Facts have been added to the shift. First, in 30 years the immigration for the U.S. has been highest in countries of Mexico, China, Idiana, and the Phillipines.
The Immigration Act in 1965 opened opportunities for immigrants.Second , the minorities have a higher birth rates than whites.
The idea that you're Hispanic and you can marry someone that's Asian, what does that mean to a couple of generations down the road?" asks Frey. There is a rise in muliracial and muliethnic in America.
Finally, the white population in theU.S. are older and are not haveing alot of children. Sice Lations are becoming bigger in population the demographics are pressuring both major parties.
They have to start adressing their concerns to minorities espically Hispanics.
" I think the 2012 presidental election gives us a sneek peek on what's going to happen in the presidential elections ahead and Hispanics are going to have more to say."By 2030, the number of Hispanic voters could rise to 40 million.
By 2020, whites will likely make up less than half of the under 18 population.
This is great. America is becoming a huge mixing pot. Bring different cultures to the talbe of knowledge.
What is so wrong with that? This is the 21st Century people not the 13th Century. Get over the black and white days. Now the days are blue, red, green, and purple. When I was younger I hung around all types of cultures and learned alot of different things.
Why would you not want to broaden your horizen ? Itsn' this a cultural world we live in ? Why would people deny that America needs diversions to make it appeal to other countries?
Have we not left our past of pain or de we still want to be reminded of Americas "race problem".
Good post. What do you think these changes in America will mean for you and your future? How might your life be different from your parents' or grandparents' because of these changes? 95
