Within 40 years, the Hispanic population is expected to multiply two-and-one-half-fold to nearly the size of the Black population, from 14.5 million in the late 1980s to 37 million in 2030. The Asian population is expected to quadruple during the same period, from 3.5 to 17 million. Meanwhile, Native Americans, with the highest birth rate in North America, are experiencing equally precipitous population growth. Already in major cities across the country, even in large states such as Texas and California, more than one-half of the overall student body is of minority background.
