Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the U.S Census Bureau, as of 2019, the White population in the U.S. was the largest proportion for all racial/ethnic groups, making up 60.1% of the population. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because while the White population has been slowly increasing in recent years, it is not yet back to the levels seen in the 1990s. Option B is incorrect because the White population was not the largest in 1990, but rather in 1970 at 83%. Option C is incorrect because the Asian population has been growing at a faster rate than the White population in recent years.
