The U.S. Census said the country would become a multicultural majority by 2043, but according to Ethnifacts, a new poll published on Friday revealed that America already is a multicultural majority population.
"We started with what the U.S. Census Bureau said, that we are 37.7 percent multicultural. ... That covers Hispanics, Asians and African-Americans who check that box in the Census. But we knew there was a lot more going on. Our IPI index takes into account intermarriage of people with different races and ethnicities, including non-Hispanic white people, cohabitation in the same way, and then ultimately, living in high density, multicultural environments. If you add those things in, and we did the calculation a few months ago, and to our surprise and almost alarm, because it was coming so fast, all of a sudden we are at 49.999 percent," Guy Garcia, president New Mainstream Initiatives for Ethnifacts, told Latin Post.
