Our nation is rapidly becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. According to the 2010 decennial census, 36.3 percent of the U.S. population was comprised of people classified as minorities i.e., those of any race other than non-Hispanic, single-race whites. By 2042, the Census Bureau estimates that minorities will constitute the majority.
Governments, businesses and nonprofit organizations are taking notice of America’s changing face. To one degree or another, they are adapting their policies and practices to address the shifting statistics.
