The most multiracial population

» Posted by Luísa


As you can see on this image, the U.S.A has one of the most multiracial population in the world. African, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Irish, Italian, even Japonese and Portuguese people live there.

Some facts:

  • About two million American children have parents of difference races.
  • In the United States, marriages between blacks and whites increased 400 percent in the last 30 years, with a 1000 percent increase in marriages between whites and Asians.
  • In a recent survey, 47% of white teens, 60 % of black teens, and 90 % of Hispanic teens said they had dated someone of another race.
A very known exemple of this type of family is Jolie-Pitt's case. Angelina and Brad Pitt have 6 children: Maddox adopted from Cambodia, Zahara adopted from Ethiopia, Shiloh was born in Namibia, Pax adopted from Vietnam, and the twins Knox and Viviene were born in France.

What a big mix of cultures! It was a good idea to add the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt case on it. Very Interesting ;)
