Reinforcing identity values, diversity, and notions of intersectionality, are all core issues facing contemporary society. In this current national political climate, the need for accepting diversity and valuing differences is at the top of the societal list.

The low voter turn out in American politics isn’t just apathy so it should be described more as electoral absence. Present-day voting obstacles are less obvious than what existed in the past; like poll taxes, literacy tests, residency and citizenship. A year after the 24th Amendment outlawed poll taxes, the 1965 Voting Rights Act was passed to enforce the 15th Amendment. The 15th Amendment grants citizens the right to vote without racial discrimination, but enforcement of this statute was long neglected, like other equalities. The many historical obstacles, designed to isolate the political process for manipulation by upper class white males, produced a ripple effect into the future of American society. In the past, the predominantly white upper class maintained control of the American political system, and family is said to have the most influence on political orientation.…

“As of 2000, roughly half of Americans believed that whites had become a numerical minority” (Alba 88). Being a white American I can say this is true especially in major cities across the nation. Since the 1960’s the amount of immigration has been rising . In fact Bill Clinton said this in a 1998 speech at Portland University, “A half century from now, when your grandchildren are in college, there will be no majority race in America.” Slowly but surely Bill Clinton is right. I think by that time there will be so many different mutts of people that we, as Americans, will create our own race…
