Racial Diversity In America

In 2010 53% of immigrants came from Latin America, 28% from Asia. 12% from Europe and 5% other, about 40.2 million foreign born residents. (Benokraitis, 2015). In my opinion I feel the views have changed due to the increase in racial diversity in America. It’s more common today to encounter several different racial groups on a day to day basis. The racial misconceptions of the past have changed today. It’s no longer taboo to date someone outside your own race. The one thing that always amuses me when they talk about immigration control is, unless you’re a full blooded American Indian we are all immigrants. People should remember how our own ancestors felt when they first arrived and treat new immigrants accordingly.
