America's Racial and Ethnic Minorities (PDF: 1.7MB)

 This Population Bulletin offers readers a chance to see how America's racial and ethnic groups compare with one another across a host of demographic dimensions. As Americans reassess their view of the nation and its future, they will no doubt express contradictory views and arrive at different positions on public policy issues. Resolving those differences will be easier if Americans understand the current demographic reality of U.S. minority populations. (BUL54.3, September 1999)
