The End of White America?

Here's a great little story in the Atlantic about the end of White America:

The Election of Barack Obama is just the most startling manifestation of a larger trend: the gradual erosion of “whiteness” as the touchstone of what it means to be American. If the end of white America is a cultural and demographic inevitability, what will the new mainstream look like—and how will white Americans fit into it? What will it mean to be white when whiteness is no longer the norm? And will a post-white America be less racially divided—or more so?

If it really is the end of White America, I say this: finally. Maybe, just maybe America will finally be the meritocracy promised in the constitution.
