The New Face Of America

    In the article "The New Face Of America" by Veronica Majerol she explains how before there were more whites than blacks, Asians , Hispanic or any other race before. Actually before in the 1950's whites came to a percentage of 89%. While others were 11%. Now that years have gone by whites percentage in America have dropped. Whites percentage in 2011 was 63%, Hispanic/Latino was 17%, Black was 15% , Asian was 5% and then other was 4%. People have thought about what would happen once more years go by will whites be a percentage of 34% in 2014 or 20% in 2016. In the article Majerol gets down to the basics of how whites percentage have gone down. One reason is because African-Americans, Hispanic/Latino or any other race are having more babies than whites. Another reason is because now that it is fine to date people outside your race (well, for some people.) People are having biracial children. If a Hispanic/Latino was to have a baby with someone white then the baby would be mixed with white and Hispanic or Latino. The baby wouldn't just be white. Now if it is both mates were white then the baby would be white but other than that two people of different race if they had a baby it would be half and half race. The last reason on why whites percentages are low because most whites are old people and if younger whites aren't having as many babies then the babies will soon grow old then the cycle would continue to go on but then soon the numbers will be lower than ever. 

   My opinion is if whites don't have babies as much as blacks, Asians, Hispanic/Latino or any other race one that's there decision and then again you never know of a change would come and then whites start having babies. We all can't predict the future. Well, none of us can. Another thing is we still do have other races that percentages would probably go down and then whites go up. But the only thing about that is if whites percentages are already done then it would take time to see improvement. It's the same thing with grades in school or anything else. It takes a long time to get that 63% up to 100%.
