Very briefly, I think it's a good thing that there will no longer be one group in majority (because there are multiple minorities, not just one--so dc_dux is right on about whites becoming a plurality). Due to various demographic circumstances, the time has (hopefully) come for a shift in power. American society will just keep right on evolving in its diversity, which is a good thing as I see it. One positive thing, for example, would be if everyone became bilingual--a long overdue necessity in the US. I look forward to ktsp's and my kids growing up in a world that is at ease with their genes being from 3 different populations, and in fact welcomes it.
And hey, it can be said that in American history (which is only a few hundred years old, anyway) this is the second time that the "minority" has become the "majority." What goes around, comes around...
Oh, and thirded on the affirmative action statements made earlier.
