what changes in U.S. culture would you expect to accompany a minority-majority?

Well, I guess that every one learns from the other one.\nHowever, if you think about it, when some one come to the USA. They need to learn The constitution, and ajust them self to the USA culture, so it is not realy a change on the American Folks, is more to the Immigrant more, I know some times folks say that it is changing the way we do things...

It does happen but it takes a generation or two for new immigrants to assimilate into American society.  Some groups do not want to assimilate and just want to have their own communities, separate from others.  This is NOT what American is about.  I do not disparage anyone's culture, and we SHOULD celebrate heritage and culture of our past, but we need to all embrace our common bond as Americans.  E Pluribus Unum means "Out of Many, One".  This is what we need to strive for, to be the nation that we were on September 12th 2001.  To be One!

American culture.  Consumerism, fast food, individuality... etc.  There is no "majority" culture outside of that.

Absolutely!! They only think of the here and now and what is good for the MINORITY instead of the MAJORITY.....\n\nI give this country until 2050 (if that) and our standard of living is going to be in the shi77er

Yes.\n\nOver the last 20-30 years we've seen a BIG swing in the United States because people were seeking spiritual and cultural influences from other countries. \n\n(Large influx of eastern thought in the 70's, and in the last 20 years the Hispanic population has dramatically increased, bringing new ideas with it, as just two examples.)\n\nLike any form of interaction, we can both benefit and be harmed by such things, depending on how we approach them and what we personally take away from them.\n\nI'd say US culture looked pretty uniform though around 1950, while nowadays it is VERY diverse due to crossing cultural boundaries.

No not really. I think they want everyone to be a clone of them!\n\nBecause of English, many native Americans are losing their language and their culture.\n\nA culture is a very important part of ones self and very few have a culture only of America.\n\nI think they see it more as a political slap at the 363 other languages spoken in America.\n\nFunny that not long ago German missed by one vote to become the official language of the US!

I'm American.The individual people or the ones that they meet they find agreeable/likable however if you come from a place with more structure or is not quite so fast paced,American culture could be daunting in its immenseness and/ or lack of traditional culture(perception-compared to other countries). My mom was from Bay Springs, Mississippi and came to visit me in San Diego,California. It was a little scary for her.Image what it must look like to a person from a whole different country. It mostly depends on what you are use/accustomed to. We are a country of immigrants so our culture is rich and varied.

As with all cultures and subcultures, it will evolve over time into something different.

Due to the diversity of people in countries such as the United States, the education system needs to adapt by implementing a multi-cultural curriculum which considers the differences in language, learning behaviors and other factors that are affected by culture.

No, it certainly would not. White people or should I say Euro-Americans really don't seem to care what they are called. As a matter of fact the black people who live in my area(A mixed population) really don't care much either. A point raised to me was those who seem the most offended are living in all or mostly black neighborhoods.This tends to create a "Sub-culture" outside main stream thinking.I don't approve of Richards outburst,but I dont see it as national news either.My mom told me when I was little"Sticks and stones....."

eye eye\n\nMcDonalds will be replaced by taco bells\n\nthe IRS will be going into overdrive\n\nEnglish will be a second language\n\nThe most popular name in America will be MAria and Jose\n\nAnd WHITE PEOPLE WILL BE IN THE MINORITY QUOTA!!!\n\nall the while, black people will still be hated (we can NEVER win) and I'm not pulling the race card, just the Mexian president has said some pretty nasty things about my homies.

People can speak whatever language they want.  Just don't expect the Americans who speak English to change.  I think it'd be like going to France and forcing them to speak English.

Their Race won't matter. Their creed will. It is not the person, It is what they are made of and stand for.But you also have to remember they will probably have to be part of the machine...That is what we relly need to change. the machine..

There won't be a majority.  There will be a likely wave of Asian and African immigrations in the future.  Mexico isn't likely to be drained of all Mexicans.\n\nAs a white guy, I really don't care.  All I care about is that those who do come here put America first and their former homelands behind that.

According to an article in Life magazine, yes.  As we are becoming a world of easier communication and safer transportation, we'll eventually become a more unified one colored world.\n\nThis won't be for another 1000+ years however.\nAsian culture will become a broad mix of white, black, and some hispanic.  The dominant features though will be Asian.

Since the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's America is a better place but there is still lots of work to be done.\n\nFirst of all, the Republican Party needs the support of minorities and women to win an office. Before the 1960's Republicans could pretty much ignore them and still take office. \n\nSocial effects are mostly positive and numerous but let me state that if you were a minority then you could never take a position of prestige or influence in the majority group (aka WASP White Angelo Saxon Males...White Folk) before the Federal Goverment enforced real change. Before this the "Seperate but Equal" theme applied. \n\nEconomically, the minoirty of America were held down by their skin color or sex. But since the 1960's education, and employment executives and managers were almost always WASPS. A miniorty (even those serving in the US Military) were only allowed certain jobs or go to certain school or even live in certain areas. With Higher Education and other social and economic right enforced by the Federal Goverment then minorities and women were allowed to "move on up".

NOTHING will change. \n\nThe reason it was even brought up was so it can look like Bush is doing something.\n\nNothing will change because us rich americans want someone who will mow our lawns for cheap and work in our restaraunts for cheap.    The majority of people in office benefit from illegals so it wont change.\n\nI get my car washed inside and out, completely polished for $5 right outside of NYC thanks to illegals.  Viva Mexico!
