The End of White America?



check out this really amazing article from hua hsu in this month's issue of the atlantic, a short clip:

The Election of Barack Obama is just the most startling
manifestation of a larger trend: the gradual erosion of “whiteness” as
the touchstone of what it means to be American. If the end of white
America is a cultural and demographic inevitability, what will the new
mainstream look like—and how will white Americans fit into it? What
will it mean to be white when whiteness is no longer the norm? And will
a post-white America be less racially divided—or more so?

The End of White America?
