The Washington Post's Anushka Asthana has a terrific profile today of academic colleague William H. Frey of the Brookings Institution.
She writes: "Looking to 2026, Frey imagines a country that is even more diverse -- where many more people are bilingual and more road signs and products are labeled in English and Spanish. He imagines a country split by age, with older and younger states driven by different political interests."
She continues: "What will change going forward? In 10 years, minorities are expected to make up nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population, Frey says. Ten years after that, they will have a plethora of high-profile positions as members of Congress, judges and business leaders, he predicts."
It's a great article, and it's precisely the type of focus I bring the Ethnic Marketing course I teach for Master's degree students at Johns Hopkins University and the work I do through my marketing and media agency The 2050 Group.

I couldn't find an email address to contact you, so by way of this comment I just wanted to call your attention to an article in today's Houston Chronicle on how ITIN loans (loans made with a tax ID number for those who do not have Social Security numbers. This is an interesting article which addresses Hispanic growth and immigration issues. The link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4093518.html
We also address many of these issues at our website, http://www.casanuevahouston.com, whihc is in English and Spanish, and we are currently working to add Vietnamese language content to reach Houston's fast-growing Vietnamese population.
