Within the next year, demographers say, whites will no longer form a majority in California,a state that until 1970 was 80% white. Within the next 100 years, the Hispanic population of America will have exploded from it's present 32million to 190million,just 40million behind the white population.
Ethnic groups are encouraged to pursue "ethnic studies" to fortify their sense of culture identy. Mexican Americans can sign up for "chicano studies". The course is credited with instilling a militant belief in young Mexican Americans that California and other southwestern states were stolen from Mexico and will one day be reconquered!
That could change, however, if the economy takes a downward turn and Americans find themselves competing with immigrants for jobs. Dan Stein, executive director of the Federation for American Immagration Reform, said:"There is a powderkeg of public animosity just below the surface." His group is lobbying for an 80% cut in the number of foreigners allowed in.
