Changing face of America

There are more minority children than white children being born today.
This is a game-changer in America. It is difficult to argue for
affirmative action for a growing minority population that will soon
become the majority. What will become important is the concept of
equality based on the 14th Amendment; as America become a society of
diverse ethnic groups, none of which has a majority. It is important
that our government doesn't favor any particular ethnic group nor
discriminate.
The demographics today show that Hispanics are approximately 15 percent
of America's population, blacks are 11 percent and Asians are a growing
percent. In 20 or 30 years whites of European ancestry will become a
permanent minority in America.
The principal benefits of America's demographic change are significant growth in the labor force and the economy and hybrid vigor.
This is a brave new world whose consequences on America must be considered.
