Over the past several decades, American family life has become increasingly ethnically and culturally diverse as a growing number of immigrants and refugees arrive from Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. Indeed, the majority of these individuals (approximately 73%) belong to what is euphemistically known as the visible minority population, and is defined by the Employment Equity Act as "persons, other than native American who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in color." In the four-year interval from the last census, in April 2000 to July 2004, the bureau reported, the total population of the United States grew 4.3 percent, to 293.7 million, and the black population increased by 5.7 percent, to 39.2 million. But, it said, the Asian population increased 16.2 percent, to 14 million, and the Hispanic population rose 17 percent, to 41.3 million. Hispanics can be of any race. In the same four-year period, the bureau said, the non-Hispanic white population grew 1.1 percent, to 197.8 million, while the rest of the nation - the "minority population" - grew 11.6 percent, to 95.8 million.
It is well-established that visible minority families frequently struggle to maintain their family life in the face of numerous obstacles and challenges. Common problems include discrimination and racism, language difficulties, racial profiling by police, job rejection, workplace bias and poor service in stores and restaurants, constricted employment and housing choices, poverty and social exclusion. These systemic issues can place generational strains on visible minority family members with respect to patterns of family support, exchanges, and the care of children and the elderly. At the same time, visible minority families living in US can experience many opportunities, such as the enjoyment of a relatively good standard of living, work and educational opportunities, and the chance to retain and maintain aspects of their cultural heritage. This can have a positive effect on family relationships and bring the generations closer together. For example, children of foreign-born visible minority parents can benefit from a strong educational and health-care system, and this can have provide a number of advantages to them and their families over time. Taken together, these constitute generational challenges and opportunities across the life course for visible minorities.
It can also facilitate an understanding of how cumulative disadvantage (or advantage) over the life course can have important social and economic consequences for individuals, families and society. The specific objectives of GVIEN-Inc. are to: (1) Help "visible minority families," (2) work with them to possibly change current trends and lightening their future and project in changes in the composition of the US visible minority population; (3) modify a conceptual framework to contextualize visible minority generational challenges and opportunities across the life course (4) present some recommendations for forward-looking federal policy consideration to the state to help shaped all programs designed to help these population.
We offers volunteers an opportunity to make an important difference in protecting, preserving and improving the environment for present and future generations, and promoting sustainable development.

Using recent survey as start point:
A survey by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University published as a front-page story by The Washington Post on Friday, showed that about four out of 10 blacks -- 37 percent -- said they had been "unfairly stopped by police" just because they were black. Complaints of racial profiling by police are especially higher among black men, which reached 52 percent, as compared to the 25 percent among black women, it added. In addition, one in five Latino and Asian men also reported that they had experiences of being stopped unfairly by police who had no other motivations than racial discrimination. More than a third of all blacks interviewed complained that they had been rejected for a job or failed to get a promotion just because of the color of their skin. One in five Latinos and Asians also said they had been biased against in the workplace due to their race or ethnicity.
According to the survey, the overwhelming majorities of blacks, Latinos and Asians also reported they had suffered at least one of such prejudices as poor service in stores or restaurants, disparaging comments, and suspicions from people they encountered because of their race or ethnicity. Black people met with far more discrimination than either Latinos or Asians, and black men reported facing prejudice more often than black women, the survey found. Nearly half -- 46 percent -- of all blacks said they had experienced discrimination in the past 10 years, including 55 percent of black men and 40 percent of black women. Four in 10 Latinos and Asians also complained that they, too, had encountered incidences of being prejudiced in the past 10 years, The Washington Post reported. Incidences of targeting minorities by police have been widely publicized all over the country in the past years, but some police insisted that their actions should be justified since minorities are more prone to commit crimes, the newspaper said. Not long ago, African Americans in Cincinnati, Ohio, staged a city-wide demonstration against the shooting death of an innocent black youth by police. The emotion-packed protests against racial discrimination developed into rioting later, causing serious damages to the city.
