"The New Face Of America"
In the article "The New Face Of America" by Veronia Majerol talks about how soon their will be a change in the United States to where whites would start fading away to when it wouldn't be also many and the black and Latino population would go up to a higher percentage. By 2050 researches believe that the change and people would start noticing it even more.
For example the article had stated, "Last spring that minority births-Hispanic, black, Asian, American India, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Alsaka Native-now outnumber those of non-Hispanic whites." Another example from the text is, "But unlike in decades past, minority population are no longer concentrated in major urban center: They now outnumber whites in 348 of the more than 3,000 counties across the U.S." Another example from the article that was stated was, "Social changes are also driving the shift. The number of mixed race marriages--and, as a result, mixed -race children- is on the rise." The last example from the text that was stated, "An estimated 12.5 million of the 24 million eligible Hispanic voters cast ballots, with 71 percent voting for obama, according to exit polls.
I think by 2050 that the population of blacks and latinos would become higher than what it is now in 2013 because so many teens in these two cultures are keeping having babies. I also think this because families are much bigger in these two culture like their might be 7 brothers and sisters in one house. I also think whites percentage is going to go down because some tends not to have children and when they do, they might just have one and when their child get to the age to have children they might make a choice not have kids.
If whites start having more kids starting from 2013 onto 2050 would this change the future results? What if the Afrian-American population get highter by 2050 what would the new percentage be and would they over come the latinos? What if the whites keep fading away what would happen to the white percentage, would they even be in reseaches anymore?
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
