1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.800
<v 0>This is definitely a much more sort of realistic and multiracial</v>

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:08.000
country than we have ever measured. Four.

3
00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:17.450
<v 1>We had the only white population decline in</v>

4
00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:22.370
absolute numbers for the first time ever since the very first census back in

5
00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:23.630
1790,

6
00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:27.770
the population of people who identify as only white in the United States.

7
00:00:27.770 --> 00:00:29.180
So that's not white and something else,

8
00:00:29.180 --> 00:00:32.480
but chest white shrank in absolute numbers.

9
00:00:32.510 --> 00:00:35.750
And we've never seen this in the history of the United States.

10
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:40.790
The number of people who are identified as multicultural jumped significantly

11
00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:45.530
from about 9 million or so in the last census in 2010 to over

12
00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:48.020
33 million, this time,

13
00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:51.200
a more than three fold increase.

14
00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:54.980
We also saw growth in demographic groups, like for example,

15
00:00:55.070 --> 00:00:59.840
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who are a really diverse group of

16
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.650
people coming from a lot of different cultures and are now becoming.

17
00:01:03.710 --> 00:01:06.980
<v 0>A bigger and bigger part of America. What.</v>

18
00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.370
<v 1>We really saw in the numbers this time around in fact, was that.</v>

19
00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:13.520
<v 0>The growth in the American population is.</v>

20
00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:17.570
<v 1>Really coming from minorities and marginalized communities.</v>

21
00:01:17.630 --> 00:01:22.130
And they're really driving the population increases in the United States,

22
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.870
not just over the past decade,

23
00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:27.260
but presumably in years to come for this country as well.

24
00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:31.970
Another notable item from the census was that while the us population is still

25
00:01:31.970 --> 00:01:36.230
growing, that growth is slowing down. So we saw in fact,

26
00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:39.140
the slowest rate of growth since the 1930s,

27
00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:42.140
since the throes of the great depression in this country,

28
00:01:42.710 --> 00:01:47.060
that slower rate of has implications for a lot of things.

29
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.980
Economically, for example,

30
00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:53.390
it potentially means fewer workers in the United States in years to come.

31
00:01:53.630 --> 00:01:57.320
So that's something that we're really going to see reverberate throughout

32
00:01:57.320 --> 00:01:58.430
American society.
