CENSUS: Whites to be the Minority by 2043

Business Insider, June 2013

ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Due in part to a quickly growing Latino presence in the United States--the largest, fastest growing minority in the country--the ethnic makeup of the United States has changed remarkably in the last 100 years. New census data reports that the under 5 age group will be the most diverse yet, meaning that by 2043, the United States will see Caucasians are the minority group based on population projections. However that doesn't mean one group will dominate; in fact, in 30 years, there will not be a racial majority in the United States. It will be incredibly diverse, with even the Asian population doubling by then. With a far more diverse United States, the next 50 years will be undoubtedly be remarkably evolutionary in regards to racial identity, social structure, tolerance and a myriad of other fun issues.
