In what way will demographic changes in America influence the future of cultural diversity?
America is changing, many areas, especially larger cities, more and more cultures are being accepted. If you are in a big city you will often find restuarants, grocery stores, religious instituions, and stores dedicated to many different cultures. A lot of people are becoming more open to diversity and they are very interested in the diversity that is growing around them. Another thing that is growing the number of interracial marriages, even ten years ago you wouldnt have seen people as open to interracial marriages as they are today. This means that the children from these marriages will be raised with multiple cultures and they will experience more diversity earlier than the average child from a single race marriage would.
