Minorities in the U.S


The New Face of America, by Veronica Majerol the main idea of this is that for the first time more minorities are being born in the U.S than whites. Meaning minorities can over number whites.

In the story is said they going to collectively out number the whites because more nonwhites are being born in the United States. This quote really stood out because some people think it's good and some disagree Jessica Ramirez was born to a Colombian mother and a Mexican father but she grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and she rarely though of herself as a minority. She said, “The school I went to was predominantly Latino…So I just felt that I was normal.”

I personally think it’s good, a lot of cultures are being born in the U.S because its mixed color so we can have an idea how other people lived and do thing. There are a lot of whites I though there were more blacks than white but studies show that white have a bigger population in the United States. The only reason why minorities are increasing because people from all over enter the U.S and have babies. I notice a lot of different cultures as I explore philadelphia.

I can draw a conclusion that there will be less whites and blacks if different cultures keep being born in the United States of America.
