Today's Post included an ariticle (the type of which we all see annually) wafting on about the future change in the historically majority white population of this country.
At least, as I always read it, THAT'S the emphasis of the subject article when they occur............always filled with proforma statistics that reveal the demise of the white majority.
I'm, I think, a prototype 'white American guy'. Blue eyes, Irish/German background....light brown (where did the blonde go?) hair and the rest of the epotome of a 'white American.'.
Ironically, this type of statistic (the onset of a tanning change to the color of this country) doesn't seem to bother me as much as it does my African-American friends/collegues who find this whole Hispanic Invasion pretty sinister.
At the risk of offending everyone, it's somewhat of mystery to me. What is the concern? So, we'll have more landscapers and Mexican restaurants? No, really, what's the deal?
The Asians are the ones whom I've seen that have assimilated the most comparatively since my ancestors came over here.
Anyone who says that the people of color, generally, don't have a concern and strong opinon about all of these recent immigrants, are just naive.
Finally, some 35+ years ago a professor of mine said to my class, "The next new significant political topic will be something called 'the environment'."
This signficant change in African-American population of the U.S. (from second to beyond that) I think will become an issue of substance shortly.
In the words of Chicago.........'Where do we go from here?"
