Minorities to be in the majority

Ethnographers are predicting that by 2042, non-Hispanic white citizens will be outnumbered by groups currently called minorities. No other country is experiencing such a racial/ethnic overhaul.

1. Do you have a problem with this?

2. Should government do something to head this off?

3. Will this make the Inland Northwest a more desirable place to live for those who want to, um, get away from it all?

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
