More Young Americans Identify As Mixed-Race

That's the headline from a recent New York Times article and so is this: "The country is in the midst of a demographic shift driven by immigration and intermarriage."

The article cited very telling statistics from a Pew Research Center study that showed that one in seven new marraiges is between people of different races and different ethniticites. They're among of this country's fastest growing demographic group and they fall into the category of multiracial and mutliethnic Americans.

Expect more of these kind of statistics and conclusions when the 2010 census is released next month.
