(2)and inserting the following: The demographic profile of the United States is changing at an unprecedented rate, with the population of the Nation becoming far more ethnically diverse than in the past. Within the United States, while the percentage increase from 2000 to 2010 for white Americans was 9.7 percent, the percentage increase during that period for racial and ethnic minorities was much higher: 43.0 percent for Latinos, 12.3 percent for African-Americans, and 43.2 percent for Asian-Americans. By the year 2020, the Nation is projected to have a population of 341,000,000, and the percentage of the population that will be either Latino, African-American, or Asian-American is projected to be over 40 percent. Ethnic and racial minorities tend to have disabling conditions at a disproportionately high rate. In 2011— among Americans ages 16 through 64, the rate of disability was 12.1 percent; among African-Americans in that age range, the disability rate was more than twice as high, at 27.1 percent; and for American Indians and Native Alaskans in the same age range, the disability rate was also more than twice as high, at 27.0 percent. ; in subsection (b)(1)— by striking National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research and inserting National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research ; and by striking 1 percent and inserting 2 percent .
