Various federal agencies including the U.S Department of State has reported that “the population fo the United States is becoming increasingly diverse. In recent years, Hispanics and racial minority groups - non-Hispanic Blacks, Asians, and Native Americans - have each grown faster than the population as a whole. In 1970 these groups together represented only 16 percent of the population. By 1998 this share had increased to 27 percent. Assuming current trends continue, the Census Bureau projects that these groups will account for almost half of the U.S. population by 2050. Although such projections are necessarily imprecise, they do indicate that the racial and ethnic diversity of the United States will grow substantially in the 21st century.
