Very Interesting, and Exciting!
"For more than 100 years the U.S. struggled as a lopsided biracial society, with a white majority of nearly 90% in 1960. Today, the face of America is changing; the past few decades have seen rapid rates of immigration. We have been slow, however, to understand and accomodate immigration's impact on our social infrastructure, particularly in healthcare.
Median immigrant age is about 30, with high fertility rates (similar to those of the Baby Boomer era). By 2020, the US population will, for the first time, lack a majority in any particular ethnicity."
