The New Face Of America

The article "The New Face Of America" is about more minorities being born in the U.S. than majority's and that over time there will be less minorities than majority's. In the passage it says, " The Cenus Bureau annouced last spring that minority births-- Hispanic, black, Asian, American,Indian,Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Alaska Native-- now outnumber those of non-Hispanic whites."

The shift is monumental for a nation that was founded by white English- speaking Europeans, and has long wrestled with issues of race and ethnicityand engaged in highly charged debates over immigration. " This is an important tipping point," says William H. Frey, the senior demographer at Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. He describes the change as a "transformation from a mostly white baby-boomer culture to the more globalized multhiethnic country that we are becoming."
 Minorities now outnumber whites in 348 of the more than 3,000 countries across the U.S. Whites still make up the majority (63 percent) of the U.S. population. But by 2042, minorities are on pace to collectively outnumber whites, according to Cenus Bereau estimates. The change is happening even faster among younger Americans: By 2020, whites will likely make up less than half of the under-18 population.   

I feel that this change is a good thing. I think more races should be able to communicate with other people othet than the ones that they live with or state they live in. What I mean by that statement is if i was chinese and i lived in china, nine times out of ten i would communicate with people that live in my community and people than mainly speak my language. But if i was to migrat to the states i would be able to communicate with people who don's always speak my lanuage and people who live more differently than what people in my city did.
   But on the flip side, American people may not agree to be around people not in their race. They may feel that since they are not american they don't have to apply by american rules.
I don't think that this change is a bad thing. Question is why do some americans feel that it is?
