Diverse Whites. Reverse Whites. Gracism
This insightful piece on race by my friend David Anderson deserves wide readership, here. Quotable:
Whites will become a minority within three decades, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. If this happens as predicted, within little more than one generation, whites will be the largest minority group in America.
In the United States we are in for a new age of diversity that all Americans should be aware of with eyes wide open.
For the first time in U.S. history, the majority rule of whites will be threatened, which means the concept of rugged individualism that worked so well for whites in America in centuries past may be threatened. The rules of personal responsibility and relational networking (some call it the “good old boy” network) as an avenue for success will no longer be sufficient in a multicultural and global society.
I predict the new minority whites will break into at least two groups: diverse whites, those who are culturally aware and multiculturally proficient, and reverse whites, those who will fight doggedly to hold on to whatever superior status they can.
Other minorities, especially blacks, have a choice to be what I call “gracists,” people who extend favor, kindness, forgiveness and grace to others regardless of, and sometimes because of, color, class or culture.
