american youth

So a while back I was asked to participate in a photo book project being done by a really famous photographer named Ben Baker. He used current demographic data to show the racial face of American Youth in 2009. The picture below shows the ratio of what American youth would be defined as today (13 Caucasian, 3 Hispanic, 3 African American, 1 Asian is the breakdown)


He then compiled a second group of photos to represent the population in the year 2050. (The breakdown is 9 Caucasian, 6 Hispanic, 3 African American, 2 Asian)



SO while currently caucasians are the majority in todays American youth population, by 2050, the minorities will make up more of a percentage than caucasian. The way Mr. Baker shows this is quite cool.

Can you find me?! Also, check out his website @ www.benbakerphoto.com. His photographs are amazing and feature really cool people!
