Um, let's look at two states, California and Maine. From 1990 to 2000, California’s Caucasian population meaning non-Hispanic whites declined from 57% to 48%. By 2025, as is predicted, that figure will drop to just 34%, which indicates the future change in the racial composition of California. On the contrary, Maine's Caucasian population was 98% of its total population throughout the 1990s; and by 2025, Maine's population will still be 97% Caucasian, which means virtually no change in Maine's racial diversity over the next 20 or so years. This shows that racial diversity is not occurring everywhere. Then what about other types of diversity? Right. The second type of diversity is age diversity. And there are some interesting age gap developing between states. |
