There are some key terms in demographics that apply to the current US in particular, but also the UK through the British Empire and to some degree France with the French Empire. It is also the case with Russia and China, which are multi-ethnic countries.

These terms are "multicultural," "multiracial," and "intersectional." and also "gender" and "sexual orientation."

Culture has to do with tradition. Race has to do with a genetic grouping. They are both included in ethnicity. 

Gender and sexual preference involve physical characteristics and behavior.

Intersectionality is the combination of the above in individuals and groups. This is a big issue now and growing as the global population becomes more diverse in a "shrinking" world.

But being the melting pot and world leader, the US is at the forefront of demographic development and impact the population and world socially, politically and economically.

Tiger Woods was the former poster child. Now it is Kamala Harris.

This is a trend to watch. The post is of interest in this regard. And it goes hand in hand with the clash between liberalism and traditionalism, in which the US is now front and center.

It is not going to be smooth sailing, if Mike Pompeo's departing words that America is not a multicultural nation are any indication.
