In A Little While Some Americans Will Have A Whole Lot More To Fear
Looking at where we spend our money as a nation, it might be fair to say America’s rallying cry is not “freedom”, but “fear”.
Well, in 2043 some Americans are going to have one more thing to fear: their minority status.
According to the US Census, America will be a mostly brown country in a little over 20 years. It’s a fair bet to that all those brown people are going to bring more diversity than ever before.
And not just skin color diversity, saggy pants, carnitas and hijabs. They will bring more cultural diversity than ever before, more ideological diversity than ever before, which will create more creative decision-making (hint: favoring brown people more) than ever before.
And this is just the beginning.
Actually, the beginning has come and gone. Because the browning is happening.
Interesting factoid: during the first 10 years of the 21st century, the U.S. population grew by 9.7 percent, and people of color accounted for 91.7 percent of that growth.
Some Americans have been trying to stem the tide. Consider:
- We spend the most in the world on defending ourselves. Mostly from brown people, although that may be changing.
