Which group is projected to become the largest minority group according to current trends?

African American
Hispanic
Asian
Native American

The correct answer is: Hispanic

The answer is based on demographic trends that have been consistently observed over the past few decades. The Hispanic population has been growing at a significant rate due to both immigration and higher birth rates compared to other groups. This trend is projected to continue, leading to the expectation that Hispanics will surpass other minority groups in population size, making them the largest minority group in the United States. This growth is influenced by various factors, including younger age distributions within the Hispanic community and ongoing migration patterns. Additionally, the increasing visibility and influence of Hispanic culture in the media and society at large contribute to this demographic shift. As these trends advance, it is important for public health professionals to consider the implications for healthcare delivery, policy, and community resources tailored to the needs of this growing population.
