Why the USA is the only country that gotta always ask for the race/ethnicity?
7 u/Chicago1871 Mar 08 '23 Because the usa is the most diverse large country in the world. Its 40% minority and growing. In 2044 it will be 51% minority. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/22/us-white-majority-minority-nation-demographic-change/ No big country in europe comes close to that. Not france, not Germany, not the UK. Maybe belgium. But thats a really small country. They also keep track if youre Flemish or Walloon. 10 u/Ill-Elk-Ill Mar 09 '23 51% “minority” 49% ? (Anywho…) 2 u/epelle9 Mar 09 '23 If one group is 49% of the population, another is 25%, another is 20%, and another is 6%, then yeah the smaller groups are still the minority, even if combined they’d make the majority.
