Dear Candace,

I’d like to reserve a place for my family and myself at the Fourth of July Picnic. I’ll be bringing my husband and three kids, so there will be five of us altogether. I thought I would bring guacamole and tortilla chips. They always seem to be popular. Also, we have a portable picnic table and about ten outdoor chairs. We use them when we invite people over for barbecues.

The chairs are stackable. Would you like us to bring those, too? If so, just let me know.
Thanks!

America is truly a melting pot of the world’s ethnic groups. Roughly 80% of Americans are considered “white,” 13% are African American, and 4.5% are “Asian.” The rest are natives of Alaska, Hawaii, or another Pacific island. About 15% of the population come from Spanish-speaking countries. These people come from places like Spain, Mexico, and Central or South America. In fact, most people in America have immigrant backgrounds. A typical “white” person in America might be part British, part German, and even part Italian. To be “American,” then, is to be a mixture of ethnic groups.
