history? What have been the common ancestral backgrounds of each of these groups? When did each become a significant or notable minority group? Some of the largest racial minorities in U.S. history would have to be German, Irish, Italian, and Polish Americans, all of these make up most Americans ethnic backgrounds. The American today is surrounded by remnants of cultures and practitioners of religions whose origins are foreign to this country.
As of 2010, with the total population of the United States at 310.2 million individuals, White Non-Hispanic Americans are 64.7 percent of the United States population. While the second largest racial group in America is Hispanics with 16 percent of the population. According to the trends, the population is estimated to be at about 439 million in the year 2050. That's quite a rise in the population in the next 40 years (129 million) and who knows the impact it will have on our economy and job availability. 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.

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.
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.

Germany is made up of sixteen states, several of which have the names of the separate territories from pre-1871 Germany, such as Brandenburg, Bavaria, and Saxony. That much of Germany existed as separate territories for so long a time, there are differences between different regions of Germany reflecting the different cultural traditions of those regions. Today, Germany has a population of about 82 million; it is the largest European nation, by population. There are 4 cities with more than 1 million inhabitants, and another 11 cities with a population between 490,000 and 690,000. A little over 80% of the population is ethnic Germans.
[12] Ghana is a constitutional democracy divided into ten administrative regions, and the world's 56th−most inhabited nation with a population of approximately 27 million as of 2014. [5] Ghana's varied geography includes savannas, woodlands, forests, a coastal line, springs, cave systems, mountains, estuaries, wildlife parks, and nature reserves. [13][14][15] The coast of Ghana stretches 560 kilometres (350 miles) and includes a rich assortment of culturally significant castles, forts, ports and harbors.

Most countries today consist of different ethnic groups. Ideally, countries strive for pluralism, where people of all ethnicities and races remain distinct but have social equality. As an example, Algeria is very diverse; with people representing groups from different ethnic back ground history.
