When will minorities become majorities?
I just turned on my computer and the top news story on my homepage reminded me of a post that Cathy wrote earlier, when we were reading July’s people, about defining minority/majority. The article talks about how Asian and Hispanic growth have slowed due to immigration laws, causing the government to push back estimates on when minorities will become the majority by as much as a decade. “The Census Bureau projected last August that white children will become the minority in 2023 and the overall white population will follow in 2042.”
Check out this website for the full article and to see if you can guess in which US states whites are a minority:
