The US Census Bureau today released results that showed that Hawai'i is comprised of 76.7% of people who consider themselves minority. Of that group, Asians comprise the largest group of the "minority-majority" at 58%. No other State comes close to that percentage, although by around 2050, about half the entire country's population will be comprised of minorities (Hispanics being the fastest growing minority).
What's really ironic is the public policy wonks are all saying that the government needs to provide more opportunities for the minority-majority population so they can better compete in the world's economy.
"Public policy analysts said these states and the country as a whole need to bring minority education and professional achievement to the levels of whites. Otherwise, these areas risk becoming poorer and less competitive in the world market....
William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., said bringing minorities' education and salary levels in line with whites should be a top priority and needs federal support...."
So how something like the KSBE ruling can make sense based on what the people who watch the demographics of the country are saying is beyond me.
