Minorites Becoming a Majority in the U.S.

"The New Face of America," an article written by Veronica Majerol talks about minorities starting to outnumber whites, by being born in the U.S. The article says by 2042 minorities are collectively going to outnumber whites. How many people are starting to have mix children and raising them in the U.S. or how some kids came to the U.S. at a young age and how their experiences were.


The article contains facts and quotes. Minorities are taking over. With us having our first African-American president Barack Obama, to us having our First Hispanic Justice on the Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor, and our first Indian American to star and write her own sitcom. This fact is surprising to me because I didn’t know we had so many first this year. I thought our only first was president Obama.

Before reading this article I did not know 63% of America was non-whites. I knew they were a majority I just didn't know they were as high as they are. I also didn’t know there were more Hispanics than Blacks in America. This is an important topic to people who like to read on America changing. Changing in size, changing all around.

I can connect this to when I see someone non-black and non-white. I ask them questions about their culture, how their household is different mines. How they speak in the house, and what they eat. I like to learn about other ethnicities. I like to learn other languages. I want to learn other things outside of my African-American culture.
