People stereotype a whole minority as one type of people even if its not true (Murry, 2014, p.277). This needs to stop as the amount of visible minorities in Canada is growing. Only 10.2 percent of immigrants were racial or visible minorities before the 1960’s (based on 2001 Census data). Most were white Europeans. Yet in the short time spend of ten years that went up dramatically to 51.8 percent in the late 1970’s.
It is also estimated that White Non-Hispanic Americans will be less than half the population at this point with 46.3 percent of the population being that race. Hispanics however are estimated to be 30.2 percent of the population, that's exponential growth within the next four decades! Who knows the impact this will have on our society and culture as well. With White Non-Hispanic Americans being less than half the population we are becoming a truly equally diverse society. Due to the diversity of it's people, the United States has some challenges to face in the coming years.
It could be argued that minorities have achieved equality since there are increasing graduation rates amongst all ethnic groups between 2001 and 2008. For example, black graduation increased from 78% to 80%, Hispanic increased from 57% to 60%. Asians remained at a constant 85%. Despite this, whites still have a higher graduation rate than blacks and Hispanics at 84%. In addition to this, blacks and Hispanics are more likely to be unemployed than whites and Asians.
Hiring Ratios Upon review of Tanglewood’s historical data for hiring and promotion I found that of the 4,764 total new hires, 82.9% were white, 16.8% were non-white, and 2.3% were African American. More to the point, as the positions within the company increased to Assistant Store Manager or Store Manager, the overall percentage of white hires to African American hires also significantly increased. Of the external candidates reviewed and hired for the Assistant Store Manager position a full 100% hired were white. These numbers suggest that the company did not meet the 4/5th ratio used in determining disparate impact, in other words, greater than 80% of the applicants hired were white. This number strongly suggests Tanglewood would be found guilty of disparate impact.
The percentage of people with ‘very strong’ identification with either of the two main parties was a low 13% in 2001. The decline in electoral turnout is therefore related to an increase in apathy and lower party identification levels, suggesting that electoral turnout alone is
Please Note: What about geographical differences in regard to poverty?Although still majority white (79%), the population on Long Island has been becoming steadily more diverse over the last two decades, with a greater proportion of black, Hispanic and Asian populations in particular. Hispanics are the largest minority population at 12.6%. This reflects the national trend toward greater diversity and growth of Hispanic and Asian populations. Nassau County is notably more diverse than Suffolk County (74.3% vs. 83.6%), although Suffolk has a higher percentage of Hispanics (13% vs. 12.1%). The median household income in the region is significantly higher than the national average, and is substantially higher in Suffolk County than Nassau County ($85,994 vs. $76,847).
Last year, sales rose by 18 per cent. This year, they have gone up by 22 per cent. There are many factors in favour of opening a new branch in Bellport. Firstly, it is easier to recruit staff in Bellport because the town is much larger than Causton. Also, the employment rate in Bellport is 10 per cent whereas it is only 3 per cent in Causton.
Historical Report on Race, Asian Americans While Asian Americans "only" make up about 5% of the U.S.'s population as of 2008, they are one of the fastest growing racial/ethnic groups (in terms of percentage increase) in the U.S. The Asian American community has received a lot of scrutiny over the years but in many ways, still remains misunderstood. As many social scientists have noted, there are two primary stereotypes that continue to affect Asian Americans. One is that all Asian Americans are the same. That is, many people are either unable or unwilling to distinguish between different Asian ethnicities -- Korean American from a Japanese American, Filipino American from an Indonesian American, etc.
According to Howarth et al this is due to the perceived lack of sufficient data on this topic, although recent social exclusion (PSE) surveys and reports offer a great scope of the issue. At present there are around 11 million pensioners in the UK: 4 million men and 7 million women. Pensioners make up around 18% of the population and this is an ever increasing statistic as the life expectancy age has risen (ONS, 1999). Not only are the older generations living longer healthier lives, on average the position of pensioners in current society has been improving, for example in the 1980-1990s when pensioners incomes grew by two thirds (DSS, 2002). These changes have enabled greater independence for some
