    Journal Article Critique #5

    1. The title of this article is “Diversity and Our Common Future: Race, Ethnicity, and the

    Older American.” There are two authors of this article is Judith Treas and Daisy Carreon.

    2. The focus of this article is to show how diverse people of different races are. As the years

    go on there are more and more ethnic backgrounds since there are more interracial

    couples. This article states that more immigrants are coming to the United States and

    growing old. Many people are dating people of a different race and eventually having

    kids with them making their kids interracial or biracial. The immigrants that come here at

    an older age kind of struggle because they do not speak much English and they are not

    familiar with the American culture.

    3. This information was gathered by speaking with Ceferina and taking statistics. Ceferina

    spoke about how she is of another racer and her “boyfriend” is a white man. They spend a

    lot of time together in the community and she doesn’t care who sees them together or

    what they have to say honestly. They both feel good when they with each other. The
    statistics in this article is about the racial and ethnic population up to age 65. It is showing

    us that many people will be in interracial relationships. Interracial relationships are more

    common now then they used to be.

    4. The main findings in this article was about the different race and ethnic backgrounds now

    a days. It speaks about how the immigrants are coming to the United States because they

    want to live a better life. When these immigrants are coming to the states, they are

    finding these men of another race and they are becoming partners. Multiracial Americans

    make up over 5 million of the population. When more interracial couples join the

    population, it will probably rise to 20 percent in about 30 years.

    5. I personally think that the immigrants coming here for a better life is great. If someone

    tries to come here illegally the American people should take a step back and think “hmm

    maybe something is going on in their country as to why they are trying to flee” rather

    than “you’re here illegally get out of my country.” Some people don’t have all the

    expenses to cover getting their visa. I know from experience that apply for visa is a lot of

    money and paperwork. I have family members who have tried to get their visa to just

    visit the United States and they have gotten turned down so many times, it is

    discouraging. My mother came here from Jamaica legally when she was 16 and filed for

    my father when she was in her 20s but when they came all they had was a green card.

    They became citizens a few years ago so I know how the process goes. This article shows

    that immigrants will always come to America no matter what it takes.
