NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton urged America this week to embrace its multiethnic and multicultural future.

During a paid speech on Tuesday, May 12, at Univision’s upfront, an annual presentation of the media company’s brands to advertisers, Clinton told moderator and Fusion host Alicia Menendez that people should take a positive attitude toward the country’s increasing diversity.

“I think the only thing that makes sense is to have a policy of radical inclusion,” Clinton said. “If you look at the world today, every place people are practicing inclusive politics, inclusive governance for corporations, inclusive economics, good things are happening… This is not rocket science.”

The U.S. Census Bureau has predicted that by 2043, no single ethnic group will make up a majority of the country’s population.

The former president said on Tuesday that politicians who hope to win the 2016 presidency — a group of people that includes his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — will need to cultivate the Latino vote by taking a more progressive stance on immigration reform, an issue that remains particularly controversial among Republican aspirants. γ
