More ethnic babies than white babies being born in the US today.
White’s will be the minority by 2043
In 1960 whites were 80%. In 2060 they will be 37%.

10. Asian Americans 4% (West, 40% HI, ½ CA) ¼ Chinese 1/5 Indian/Filipino

12. Concentration of Ethnicities in Cities
90% Hispanics/ African Americans live in urban cities (i.e. Detroit Chicago, NYC/Los Angeles/San Antonio)
Europeans immigrants migrated out of original ethnic neighborhoods. Why this is not true for African & Hispanics?

13. African American Migration Patterns
18th century: forced migration from Africa (Triangular Trade)
10 million + Africans shipped to the Americas (1/4 died along Middle Passage)
40% went to Brazil, 40% went to the Caribbean, 15% to Spanish colonies, 5% to North America
Effects on Africa = separating families, destroying villages, cultural genocide
Effects on America = Civil War between Proslavery South and Antislavery North and the fate of new states joining the Union
1865: 13th Amendment outlawed Slavery
Post-slavery: sharecropper/ serfdom economy

14. Immigration North
Early 20th century: two waves (WWI/ WWII) South to northern cities.
Industrial jobs pulled sharecroppers north.
East Coast route: Atlantic Southern states went to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
East Central: Alabama, E Tennessee to Detroit, Cleveland
West Central: Mississippi and W. Tennessee to St. Louis/ Chicago
Southwest: Texas to California
Detroit 1910: ,000, , ,000

17. Differentiating Ethnicity and Race
Race are transmitted genetically (Asian, African, Caucasian) Hispanic is ethnicity based on common culture)
Asian in America is both race and ethnicity bc of ties to Asia.
African- American: cultural ties/ Black: skin color) are different groups but ethnically grouped together because of history.
Hispanic/Latino is not a race can be white, black, other
Race is unpopular in labels because of the prejudged classification of a species that is highly variable physically. For example:

18. What Are You?

19. What Race is this Guy in?

20. How do Demographic data collected in America?
Census: every ten years US takes a survey of the race/ethnicity of its citizens.
14 races/ethnicities

21. Racism
Legacy of Racism: belief that race is the primary determination of inherent superiority
Can those who have been targets of Racism be Racists? (Reverse Racism)

22. Separate but Equal Doctrine
US strongly discouraged racial interaction
Plessy v Ferguson 1896
“Jim Crow” laws until 1964.
Desegregation resulted “White Flight” (Detroit 1950: White pop 1.7 million/ Black pop 300, : Black pop 850,000/ White pop 200,000)
Blockbusting: practice at underselling white homes/ upselling to black families desperate to move out of the ghetto.

23. Division by Race in South Africa
Dutch (Boers) vs British

SA classified under black, white, colored, or Asian
Determined where you could live, attend school, work, shop, and own land.

1991 Apartheid was repealed/ Mandela became first democratically elected president.
Today: white SA earn 10X more than black SA
