In February last year, I put forth my predictions for the top racial\/ethnic trends in 2007. I want to revisit this before I post my top trends of 2007 and my predictions for the top trends of 2008.<\/p>\n
So where was I right and wrong? The original post is up here.<\/a> You can go there and read the details of the predictions, but for the purposes of this post I’m just going to list the subject headings for each prediction, and after the heading I’ll list whether or not I think my prediction was right or wrong.<\/p>\n 1. Asia\/Asians are Hip and Cool<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, this was a little true, but I overstated it 2. End of Voluntary Desegregation Plans<\/strong><\/p>\n This was true to some extent, since the supreme court rule against the desegregation plans in Louisville and Seattle, but it is going to take a long time for these plans to be completely dismantled. The Supreme Court is in dire need of another moderate or liberal judge.\u00a0 If a Democrat wins, this may happen.<\/p>\n 3. Biological Notions of Race<\/strong><\/p>\n Does this ever really go out a style? :)<\/p>\n 4. Latinos Becoming White<\/strong><\/p>\n I was wrong; just flat out wrong here.<\/p>\n 5. Non-African American Blacks are Popular<\/strong><\/p>\n I think this was by far my best prediction. There were numerous articles describing non-African American Blacks as model minorities.<\/p>\n 6. Anti-Racism\/Pro-Racial Equality Blogs Blow Up<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m not really sure about this one. There definitely were more of these sites than in 2006, but I don’t know if they “blew up.” They did grow.<\/p>\n So what do you think about my 6 predictions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In February last year, I put forth my predictions for the top racial\/ethnic trends in 2007.
