The U.S. Census - Race & Ethnicity Comparisons fo the U.S.

Directions: Use 2000 US Census Data from their website (http://factfinder.census.gov) to compare the racial and ethnic backgrounds of regions across the US. Then check out Generation Mix (http://www.generationmix.com) to see what changes are taking place in the racial make-up of the U.S., and young people's efforts to bring attention to those changes. Lastly, write a paragraph discussing the significance of the regional differences and hypothesizing reasons for the regional population differences, and how might those differences change the social, economic, and political needs of the region?
