Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hispanic is considered an ethnic, not a racial, category, encompassing people from Spanish-speaking countries. The number of languages spoken by over a million people worldwide far exceeds five. The white population in the United States is projected to decrease as a percentage of the total population by 2050. The increase in ethnic and racial diversity in the U.S. is indeed attributed to both higher birth rates within certain communities and immigration.
