The world is a beautiful patch work. Different races means different cultures, background, languages, histories, etc. That is fun to learn, experience and get to know. Teach us to be understanding, tolerant and help us grow as human beings... at least in theory.

Definitely. Hundreds of years ago, nearly all people were white. Although whites remian the largest diversity group today, all other races have increased in number. It's no wonder that America is frequently referred to as the "Melting Pot," due to its diversity.

there is not such a thing as a racial stock. the concept of races was an invention of the colonialist European 19th century, who tried to make biological categories of people.\nNowdays, with developments of genetics we know that the three main races as defined in that period doesn't corespond to biological realities.  Genetically there is one human specie, that's all, inside wich one you can find any  variation possible of individual characteristics in a continuum.\n\nOnly some countries in the world such as the USA continues to classify people in these imaginary categories, to maintain domination of one group in particular.

I hope you realize that all blacks aren't African-american.  Maybe you should rethink the question and ask how many blacks are in the U.S. today.  Hmm.

Unknown. We don't even know for certain how many there are now. There's at least three, but some scientific research indicates there may be as many as 11.

We are all human. The only difference at times would be skin color, cultural and religious beliefs. Certainly nothing that should make one race feel superior to any other!

Yes, it does exist in America. America is a huge melting pot !!!  diversity exist in all walks of life, from belief system, ideology- conservatives or liberals to cultural heritage. There is no single yardstick for diversity. It not mainly based on religion, family life nor dress codes.
