- W94024376 abstract "Jo Ann S. Barefoot, contributing editor. Barefoot heads up Columbus, Ohio-based KPMG Barefoot, Marrinan, a business unit KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. She is a partner in the parent firm The growing prevalence mixed-race individuals only underscores how dated the foundations this country's civil rights policy has become I just am who I am, whatever you see in front you...The bottom Line is that I am an American, and proud it! So said golfer Tiger Woods as he stepped center stage in the sports world a year ago and immediately encountered an assumption by the media and public that he is an African-American. Instead, Woods described himself as a person mixed race who is therefore not classifiable. Under the spotlight celebrity, he refrained an outmoded assumption and reflected a critical trend that will impact future public policy, including banking issues. Woods' mixed heritage reflects white, African, Asian, and Native American roots. He claims each these racial antecedents with pride, I but at the same time, rejects the notion that any them make him a member a minority grouping. Instead, he considers himself an individual within the larger, non-hyphenated American community. In doing so, Woods is in good company, both in his multiracial roots, and in his attitude toward them. As the country approaches the year 2000 census, a debate is raging about how Americans should be classified. The issue may seem political, though politics are, in fact, scrambling to keep pace with underlying shifts in the real world human relations. In fact, America is changing in ways that make our current public policies on race increasingly obsolete, or at least inadequate. Bankers should pay attention to these trends, because they will transform both the industry's compliance challenges, and marketplace. Changing face America Much is made the fact that America is increasingly populated by people of color -non-white, non-European racial and ethnic groups. If we apply straight-line projections to recent trends, we see very rapid growth in these groups, particularly Latinos, fueled by a combination continued immigration and high birth rates. In a few more decades, these predictions suggest, whites will be a minority group in the United States. It may be erroneous to project past trends forward with the assumption that the same patterns will continue. Still, there seems little doubt that non-whites will comprise an increasing share the U.S. population and in the process, account for a disproportionate amount our growth. Of significance for banks, for instance, is that minorities accounted for 42% the growth in homeowners between 1994 and 1997, even though they comprise only 24% households and 17% homeowners. Some this was presumably due to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and affirmative fair-lending efforts, but much it reflects the fact that banks have learned to reach a market that has high growth potential compared to the more mature, slower-growing market for loans to the white middle class. Any business that is paying attention--or has an ambitious growth strategy--has recognized this change and begun to respond to new market and labor challenges. At the same time, civil rights advocates use this kind projection to bolster the argument that racial issues are increasingly important and that any remaining institutional discrimination must be weeded out through aggressive public policy leadership and law enforcement. Less discussed, however, is the fact that at the same time America is becoming less white, it is also becoming less divisible into minority groupings. There are three main reasons: 1. Increasing racial/ethnic intermarriage. 2. Centrifugal forces that are splintering minority groups into smaller and smaller subgroups seeking a recognizable identity. …" @default.
