Even 40/60? Or will cultural/social differences prevent that from happening? If you think it will happen, how close do you think we are, and how does that reflect upon our society as a whole?
What do you all think? Be honest.

Uhhh . . . why would they be 50/50?
According to the 1990 census (most current data I have right here), the US is about 68% non-hispanic whites . . . and if you break it down even further, each campus has its own individual community statistical breakdown.
Shouldn't "integration" be examined versus the population from which membership is drawn, rather than some sort of random "50/50" type thing?
I think that's the only valid way to invoke the original post - I'll never argue that race relations in the US are perfectly wonderful, but I don't feel this is a valid definition as posted above.
