Essay On Why The World Is White

The world is white no longer, and it would never be.

The Social landscape of America is changing. This is largely in part due to the rapid growth of the internet and more social media platforms becoming predominantly accessible. As a result, the reemergence of pictures and images that have been hidden have become available. The constant bombardment of Negative imagery is fading away and being replaced with images of empowerment and positive thinking. “The world is white no longer and it will never be white again”. This is a simple and powerful statement which has taken a shear scope and gravity because of its complexity which might not be conveyed. In other words, for someone, to brush off or ignore such a statement is to brush off or ignore all the social, economic and spiritual changes that are happening all around the world. This topic is a rear chance to examine the strength and character of an entire race of people that may begin to show a form of direction in which an entire generation might go.

One of the main reasons why the world is no longer white is because of the sweeping racial changes that is on the rise and has predominantly outnumbered their white counterparts. It is evident that we’ve seen this in previous trends and in today's society. For

example in the United States, the wave of Hispanic, Chinese and other multiracial Americans by some measure, already outnumbered the whites. On the other hand, it is also evident that history has it that between the early 1790s and 1980s whites were the most predominant race accounting for about 80 to 90% of the population. Recent information from the census, government data and statistics shows how quickly the shift from a predominantly white to multicultural society is happening. Statistics shows that from the period around the year 2000 to 2010, the white population as a whole only grew by about a little over one percent. The number of white children living in the United States drastically declined by a little over 4 million according to a study. Meanwhile the child populations of Hispanics, Asians, and people of multiple races were increasing. Retrospectively, whites made up only about 53% of America’s young population which is down from approximately 70% in 1990; while Hispanics constituted 23% which is up from just 12% according to the same study.
Another reason why the world is no longer white is because of the dynamic nature of people due to immigration and tolerance of different cultures from their native one. In the last century about nine out of ten people were immigrants that came from Europe, a predominantly white area. Today eight to ten are either Asian, Hispanic or other sub groups. And since immigrants tend to have more kids, we could see why one might suggests it’s fair to say that the white counterparts has diminished since then when compared to other races. This premise also gives rise to globalization and because the world is getting smaller due to more means and ways of traveling from one point of the globe to another.
The preponderance of people might argue that the world was predominantly white right? The notion of this premise is a rational one and I could understand why some people would suggest that this statement is without flaws. However, the world was not all white to begin with. When we look at the history of mankind and the many pieces written about the humanities by scholars for example, one would start to understand things differently and not for face value or just mare spoken words or ridiculous ideology. The human race can be traced back for several thousands of years. According to theologians and scholars, everything got started in the Garden of Eden where it is believed that man was made in the image of his creator. According to archeologist, the garden of Eden was somewhere along four major rivers including the Tigris-Euphrates river valley which is around the areas shared by countries such as Syria, turkey and Iran only to mention a few. On the other hand, based on the geographical location where these group people are largely from, it sound to say that these people were not white. Retrospectively, I could understand and agree somewhat with the antiquated form of thinking and point of view as to why some people would debate that the world was predominantly white would not be an unfair statement. Yes they may argue the premise and I understand; however, they are absolutely and unequivocally wrong.
Finally, as you can see, it is sound to say that the world is not predominantly white as one might argue because of the drastic changes to the social landscape and the long approaching multi culture society we are living in today.

Immigration also plays a big roll and sheds light on the fact that the world we are living in now is no longer predominantly white and it might never be no longer. This statement is solid due to white subgroup are not having kids as fast to keep up with the other groups that it once dominates. Humankind also plays a big role in this broader spectrum because we become more tolerant with one to another thus making it easier for us to understand each other and then become

friends.
