In Veronica Majerol's article "The New Face of America" she talks about how there are other races being born in the U.S than whites. Majerol also talks on what this means for the up coming economy. The minorities now outnumber whites in 348 out of 3,000 countries around the U.S. William H. Frey, a demographer in Washington, D.C is happy about this change. Frey describes this ethical change as "transformation from a mostly white baby-boomer culture to the more globalized multiethnic country that we are becoming. " This shows that the world need more ethnics to shine more then whites. Statistics says in the year of "1950 white people who were white took up 83% of Americas population, leaving only 11% for non-white people. Statistics also says that in the year of 2050, white will take up 43% of the world, leaving Hispanic with 30%, black with 15% Asian with 9% and others to 5%".The cause for the minorities increase may be mixed-race marriages and mixed-race children. I think that the increasing in other races and out number the whites will be very negative. With the mixed-race children being born constantly it might leave the citizens in the world with all young mixed children and the older ones will be white, this isnt good because even though it sounds impossible whites might be on the risk of extinction. This remind me of my every day life with a person of a certain race trying to be known and heard or children trying to put their foot down and take their proper place, where they think they belong .
