The New Faces of America..

In this article "The New Faces of America" By: Veronica Majerol is about how America is changing. Its talks about how more minorities are being born in the U.S. than whites. They think this may be messing up the nation’s identity.

In the article it talks about how there are more minorities are coming to America and being born here. They there are more minorities then whites. Back in the days in 1950’s there was 89% of whites and 11% others. In the article it says “Not everyone, however, has embraced Americas changing demographics. From 2010 to 2011, more than 150 anti-immigrants laws were passed by the state legislatures, according to Mother Jones magazine.” In 2011 there were 63% whites (non-Hispanic), 17% Hispanic/Latino, 13% Black, 5% Asian, and 4% other. This here shows the changes that occurred in America.

I think that there is nothing wrong with different races coming to America because this is how some people expand their knowledge. They bring different types of foods and things other than what we only know. I like the fact that they come and open up stores and restaurants showing us what they can bring here to America.

This kind of reminds me of a book I read. I forget the name of the book but, the book is about a girl name Zori and she moves who moves to America with her parents and siblings. She thought coming to America she was going to only see black or whites but she realized it was people there that came from the same place as she has. She liked all the new experiences she was opened up to.

This article helped me understand how America is changing and how the identity of America is not the same as it used to be. I never noticed the change in America until I seen the percentages of races that is here today.

Do you think America is still the same? Do you think America identity can be saved?, Do you think having a lot of minorities is good? Tell me what you think.
