Part 2

The Nature of Racial and Ethnic Relationships in the U.S. Today

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 9 to 12 slides. In the 2000 census, people of mixed-race were allowed to select more than one race for their racial category. This change reflected a national increase in:

Consider the following:

• How does this change reflect racial and ethnic diversity in the US, racial tolerance and the future of race relationships in the U.S.?
