Minorities to Majority

For years the white population have made up most of the U.S population ( 63 percent). While races like Latino, Blacks and Asian have make an combined 30 percent. But the Census Bureau by 2042 minorities will outnumber the whites.

Several key factors have contributed to this shift. First the 1965 Immigration Act which  offered sanctuary immigrants from countries like Mexico, China, India and the Philippines. Second , non-whites birth rates are higher than whites. Lastly mixed-race relationships are increasing causing more mixed children to be born.

Marcelo Suarez-Orozco said "the question is whether a cohesive society is still possible when the generations don't look like one another.

Immigration has also caught the eye of politicians causing them to show great concern on the rising rate, especially on Latinos. The Democrats have been supporting the act and it showed when 12.5 million out of 24 million Hispanic's voted for Obama which greatly helped him become president in 2008.

But everyone didn't support the Immigration Act because form 2010-11 over 150 anti-immigration laws were passed. Also there have been efforts to make English the official language of the U.S.

The Census Bureau said by 2050 the Hispanic's will be second greatest population.

In conclusion I welcome the fact that the population is growing. Hispanics, Blacks, Chinese etc. I always felt like their were to many white people especially in office. It felt like other races didn't have enough say because there weren't a lot of us. Every race is special and contributes something different  to our everyday lives. Now some people think since a Black president got elected that were going get special privilege's. But everyone is equal no matter how much money you make or how important your  job is. That's the attitude everyone should have instead of stereotyping people on what they think they know. Is that to much to ask for!!!
