When I say other races I am talking about the Hispanics and the African Americans. They are becoming a large portion of the U.S. population today. Hispanics and African Americans seem to grow in number more and more daily, while the number of White Americans seem to grow slowly, and even at times may seem like there is a slight decrease in the numbers.
