Abstract
The demographic landscape in the United States has changed dramatically in the last ten years. According to the latest U.S. Census data,1 African Americans (12.3%), Hispanics (12.5%) and American Indians/Alaska Natives (0.9%) together represent over 25% of the total U.S. population. Over the last decade, the Hispanic population alone increased by a notable 57.9%.2 It appears that populations that historically have been called minorities are on their way to becoming majorities. This demographic transformation has already occurred in 19 Census-designated areas in California, Texas, and Florida and to a lesser extent in New Jersey.2
