Introduction

Diversity can be seen everywhere in the United States, from bustling urban centers to small rural towns, and its contributions to American society are both extensive and varied. Data published by the U.S. Census Bureau outlines the racial breakdown of the United States as of 2021: 75.8% White, 18.9% Hispanic or Latino, 13.6% Black or African American, 6.1% Asian, 1.3% Native American and Alaskan Native, 0.3% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, and 2.9% two or more races combined. Since 2000, there has been a rapid increase in multi-ethnic Americans due to interracial marriage or adoption; this number currently stands at nearly 20 million people.

The diversity present in today’s United States can be attributed to its rich history as a nation made up of immigrants coming from all corners of the world, particularly those seeking freedom from oppressive regimes or better economic opportunities for themselves and their families. In recent years there has been an influx of refugees coming from countries such as Syria, Sudan, the Democratic of the Congo, and more as they seek refuge in America.

Diversity is also reflected within various faith communities across America. Religious pluralism sees Christians existing alongside other religions including Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and others. There are also rising numbers of those who do not identify with any particular religion which contributes to even more religious diversity within U.S. society.

The state's makeup is 50% White, 12% African American, and one of the largest Hispanic or Latino populations in the country at 11,441,717, ranking second. This state has become increasingly diverse over recent years due to its large metropolitan areas such as Houston which attract immigrants looking for better opportunities than those found in their home countries. It is also home to numerous universities which draw students from around the globe thus creating an atmosphere that is even more culturally diverse.
