In 1915 100 million people lived in America and 1967 200 million people lived in U.S. President Lyndon Johnson celebrated the baby that made 200 million and they couldn't believe it. Today it hit 300 million people but they say the estimate is wrong. Some say that is some where close. They might be 400 million people live in U.S. Non-Latino people will be the majority,but not much. About 25% are going to be Latinos,14% African,and7% Asian of total group.
Hi Dulce Maria! I really am proud of the way you are interested in amount of Latinos in this country. I am Latina myself and am very proud of my culture. It's so important to spread an awareness and love for people from different countries. I can see that you are interested in finding out more about Latinos in this country. I've discovered that there are 12 million Mexicans living in America right now and 34.7 million Latinos in the nation. That is a lot of people! Check out the 2000 Census (just google it) if you wanna see the numbers first hand. Have a great day and GRACIAS!!!!

Hi Dulce Maria,
Thanks for sharing this important information about the increase in our population!!!
You've mentioned how our country has become a nation of diverse peoples. Some people say we are like a mosaic and others say we are more like a vegetable soup. Personally I like to think we are like tossed salad; all different peoples mixed together with a touch of the distinct culture of each group. Delicious!! I wonder what you think?
Best,
Lani
