NPR: Follow Up: 1/3 America

Follow Up: 1/3 America

In our show on Friday we talked about the big 100 million -- the fact that minorities now comprise a third of the U.S. population. We explored how two towns in New Jersey are adjusting to change...but we want to do more. Does your city or town have a new flavor than it did a decade or two ago because of immigration? As a result, are there new doctors, techies, day laborers or small business people in town? Where are they coming from? How are they being received?

Or, are you a new-comer to a place you never expected to be? Stranger in a strange land? How's it going for you? Does this whole conversation about the new multiracial America make you feel like the new "normal?" Or, does it highlight differences you'd just as soon not notice?

Let us know...These are the stories we want to tell.

Michel Martin
