Abstract:

The American ethnic composition had a clear change after the Second World War. The proportion of European descendent whites to national minorities varied obviously in American ethnic composition. It led to an alteration of American government in dividing categories of ethnic. The change of ethnic composition was connected with flexible immigrant policies, increasing Asian and Latin immigrants, and different ethnic birthrates. All of this boosted American multiculture.

Key words: U. S. A., ethnic composition, Asian and Latin immigrants, multiculture
