For the first time, half (49.9%) of American children under the age of five are of a racial or ethnic minority, according to the US Census Bureau. The agency projected that in the US, whites would become a minority in the under-five age group this year or next. Minority populations are growing faster than the white community due to high birth rates, especially in the Hispanic community, as well as immigration. But the white American population is still seeing small increases because of immigration from Europe, the data shows. |

The government figures also project that in five years, minorities will make up more than half of children under 18. |
totale bevolking:
White: 63%
Hispanic: 17%
Zwarten: 12,3%
Aziaten: 5%
Multiracial: 2,4%
De gebruiken wel een vreemde opdeling, sommige latino's zijn ook blank, en Aziaten zijn toch niet bepaald een homogene groep.
