This quote was noted in an article titled “Like President, like citizens: Americans of multiracial descent fastest growing demographic group.” The article explains how the growth for people of a mixed race in the U.S. has grown by 3.4%, the states that experience the highest increase of people who are of a mixed race were California, Texas, New York and Florida. The main cause for the increase is due to the social acceptance of people engaging in relationships outside of their race. Something that was once illegal and considered immoral in many states for the last 3 centuries is now causing new rules to be implemented so that a person’s racial mix is respected and recognized.

n the U.K., who also has a high rate of people with multiracial backgrounds, it’s noted that by 2020 mixed race will become Britain’s largest ethnic minority group. Wow has the world turned. Many other countries have also experienced an increase in the population of multiracial people.
In class we discussed the idea of culture and the effects it has on government as well as the various stereotypes that are experienced. However if this article holds true than culture and stereotypes as we know it will also evolve; thus changing the dynamics of policy and politics. Bobbi W.
