Courage of the Over- and Underrepresented

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

By 2050, according to some estimates (1), the minority in our country will be the majority, with Hispanic, black, and Asian-Americans comprising over half the US population. As this diversification of our country as a whole takes place, are similar demographic changes happening in the dietetics profession? The evidence shows that, despite our effort to increase the numbers of underrepresented groups, little progress has been made. And this historical look does little to change what the future holds.
