National Geographic built its 125th anniversary issue around this very question last October, calling on writer Lise Funderburg and Martin Schoeller, a renowned photographer and portrait artist, to capture the faces of our nation's multiracial future Here's how the "average American" will look by the year 2050: I was a fan of Louis CK and I didn't want to believe the rumors. Now they're more than rumors. Nov. 11, 2017 What do we make of the women in Louis CK's 1 Love You, Daddy'? Now. 11, 2017 In a post-Weinstein world, what is Mel Gibson still doing here?

These are obviously not Photoshopped projections, but real people meaning tomorrow's America lives among us now in every "Blackanese," "Filatino," "Chicanese" and "Korgentinian" you meet at the DMV, grocery store or wherever it is you hang out. Their numbers will only grow. The U.S. Census Bureau let respondents check more than one race for the first time in 2000, and 6.8 million people did so. By 2010 that figure had increased to nearly 9 million, a spike of about 32%. This is certainly encouraging, but there are obvious flaws with tracking racial population growth through a survey that lets people self-identify. especially since so many familial, cultural and even geographical factors influence your decision to claim one or multiple races. Complicating things further is the definition of race itself: It has no basis in biology, yet its constructions, functions and mythologies irrevocably shape the world as we know it. So is an end approaching? Will increased racial mixing finally and permanently redefine how we imagine our racial identities? The latest figures suggest we're getting more comfortable with the idea, or perhaps that we simply give fewer s---- than ever before. Either would be a step in the right direction
