younger americans, more nonwhite.of that trend is being driven by a surging latino population. with a much higher birth rate than any other ethnic group. further bolstered by legal immigration. the implications of this evolving america will touch everything from politics, where hispanic voters will wield increasing power, to education. >> we need to focus on making sure that we can adjust and adapt our educational systems to people who speak different languages at home than they do outside. for people whose parents may not have as high an education as maybe some of their peers in the community. >> reporter: within the ranks of nonwhite americans, some notable changes too. latinos continuing to surpass the black population. and among african-americans, an alarming increase in the percentage of children growing up in single-parent households. the america in which this baby grows up will be different than her parents. sometime before she turns 40 she will be part of a new nonwhite majority in this country. ron claiborne,

on the race front just 41% of whites believed in force sharing. 64% of nonwhites do.hat's a huge gap. so you can see where this is going. barack obama is heavily dependent on minorities and women for votes. thus the private sector doesn't believe the president will pull back on nanny state economic philosophy. that is stunting economic growth. the sitting on the money instead of investing it. the essential question is, what kind of country do americans want? a vibrant capitalistic state or a western european style nanny state. the call will be made next year. that's the memo. with us now react monica crowley and alan colmes. here is what struck me about that gallup poll. almost half the country 47% want the income redistribution. they want stuff from. >> depends income redistribution. that's often a right wing buzz phrase that means we're going to give more money. >> bill: this so gallup poll. >> talk about the way we tax people. progressive tax people in this country. that means we tax the rich more. that's the way it's always been. >> bill: i pay more than do you be

when barack obama was elected, nonwhites were 26%. barack obama is the first president in american history who lost white voters by double digits and actually won the white house. as we're living through this change, there are different reactions to it. >> it's perception. >> and diversity is not only deepening, it's broadening. more states are affected. minority share of the population increased in every state from 2000 to 2010. so the reactions to this, we have a quarterly poll that we do called the heart land monitor and we asked americans how they feel about the change. not surprisingly, hispanics and asians were saying by and large this is good for america. much more ambivalence among whites and african-americans. and the whites, about 53% in our poll also expressed the most conservative views on a whole range of other issues including president obama's performance. so there is kind of an intake connection now between attitudes toward demographic change and broader assessments of the political landscape. >> cornell, obviously thi

federal properties that basically decimated native lands or there could be today situations where a nonwhite person, a non -- i'm sorry, a nonnative person of any ethnic background matters a native person, and they live together and they have children and so you'll have a nonnative person on the land. there's lots -- things are a lot more complex, i think i could say, in roughly every aspect of native american life, but that's one of them. that's one of many things i didn't know either. >> well, let's get back to particular individuals. let me start with darrell newell, who is from the a tribe. in passing, i could say he's someone who manages the blueberry harvest but lo and behold it isn't necessarily an organic harvest. >> i know. i was so disappointed. i had the stereotype there would be all these ceremonies. and the tribal chairman would pick the first blueberry. and there would be prayers and a drum circle and he said no, we basically go pick them when they're ripe. [laughter] >> and that was it. and then he said -- and then i thought, of course, they are organic because these are nativ

foreign service reporting becomes vital as we move toward countries that may be small,less developed, nonwhite or with cultures and institutions drastically different from our own. if we keep ourselves in ignorance and out of touch with new popular movements and potentially revolutionary situations, we may find ourselves again missing the boat. >> great. um, any other questions from the audience? well, on that note i think we can all learn from the story and john service, and hopefully we'll be on the right side of the history concerning china. from this point on. [applause] >> for more on this and other festival programs, visit booktv.org and search for virginia festival of the book. >> what are you reading this summer? booktv wants to know. >> two books right now, "the storms of war" by andrew roberts, and a book called "1861 ," i think jeffrey goldberg. anyway, it's about the beginning of the civil war. those are the two books i've been reading more recently. >> tell us what you're reading this summer. send us a tweet at booktv. you can find out about upcoming booktv weekend programs by usi

how can you say it's because of the cold war that companies exploit other people, mainly nonwhite people to make billions of profit while they're being paid 50 cents a day in these countries? >> host: thank you, boston. we got the point. >> guest: yes. well, i think you're taking my earlier answer out of context. i was trying to draw a comparison to -- from israel to the united states, and the u.s. had security reasons for propping up -- or at least not pressuring dictatorships in other countries. i don't -- i was making a pretty cautious point. i don't to whether the security reasons were justified. they were applause -- plausible but there's an argument that the u.s. should have given them lest support. what you're saying is the u.s. was propping up dictatorships in order to support american companies that were exploiting people in these countries. exploitation occurs, but it's complicated because what you call exploitation could also just be called trade, and investment, and most countries, including democratic countries, which are poor, welcome trade and investment. why? because if a
