Hua Hsu (The End of White America)

       In the essay "The End of White America", by Hua Hsu, it states reasons on how and why whites are becoming a minority in America. It states that nowadays being white is not the greatest thing or the best thing to be proud of, because they are becoming underpopulated. A part of this has to do with immigrants and interracial couples. Back in the twenties if you immigrated into the United States and wanted to be considered white or American, you had to blend in and follow the lifestyles and traditions that whites had. You had to dress and speak like whites, you had to also go to the same schools, the same churches, the same groceries stores. In other words, you had to look and act like a white to make America look "good". In today's world if you want to become an American you just fix your papers and pay taxes, you do not have to blend in with the whites, in fact whites are beginning to blend in with Hispanics. Also, Interracial marriages and couples are bringing a different variety of skin color with their children, our world is not only focused on white with white and black with black, therefore; children are more likely to come out with colored skin. It has also become difficult for the white women to get modeling or acting jobs, because beauty today are Hispanics or Latin looks and they are what our world calls "the style of today's world". For the men, white are considered to be mean and unfair with Hispanics when in fact they can usually be helpful but since Hispanics are increasing in popularity, whites believe that they have to fight for themselves and for their respect. A great amount of Popular television shows and music are mostly all Hispanic or black related, because it is what our society is interested in the most. When before many of the popular music groups were white, such as; Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. I believe that our world is becoming a Hispanic or Latin community, because many are immigrating into the United States looking for a better life in a world that was known as a white and rich community. With all these immigrants coming to the United States it is making us the majority race, and with all the white people moving away they are giving us the opportunity to overpopulate and put the standards high for whites to accommodate to our lifestyles. I believe that throughout the years, races will all have their chances in population and high power, because it all depends on what race is growing and succeeding at that time. I do not think that whites will become a minority because as i stated before, we all have a time when a race is higher than others and when some are lower than others. If that day does come when whites become minorities, then I sure hope they get the thrive to come up again because i believe that for a country to be successful it needs all types of cultures, races and ethnicity.
