由于移民和少数族裔妇女的高生育率,美国人口中少数族裔的比重不断增加。据预测,白人将在2043年成为少数族裔,在人口中的比重低于50%。人口种族构成的变化将产生一系列社会影响。
Because of the immigration population and high fertility rate of the minority women,those groups currently categorized as racial minorities-Blacks, Hispanics and Asians-will account for a majority of the U.S. population by the year 2043. The result showed the nation's transformation into a "majority-minority" nation is proceeding even faster than expected. That could have important implications for the American future.
