Millennials are the most diverse generation to date, post-Millennials even more so, and the 2014-2015 school year marks the first time that white students are the minority in the U.S.

Millennials are the most diverse generation to date, post-Millennials even more so, and the 2014-2015 school year marks the first time that white students are the minority in the U.S. In the 1990s, white students made up nearly 65% of the U.S. state school system population, and by the mid-2020s that number will go down to 45%. (Though the pattern is vastly different in private schools). Avoiding whitewashing in media and entertainment will be more important than ever for this generation, who truly will not see a majority white group of kids as their reality. (BBC)
