Summary

After a Senate race in Alabama that was divided sharply on the lines of race, we discuss the issue of whiteness. Will the United States really become a majority POC country by 2055, or will more Latinos begin to see themselves as white? Maria Hinojosa discusses this question with Richard Alba, professor of sociology at the City University of New York, Cristina Mora, professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and co-host Julio Ricardo Varela. Plus, a conversation about Doug Jones' election victory over Roy Moore. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
