I am writing this as a theory to partly explain what is happening or happening fast enough.
I am not sure what the solution is but you cannot offer workable solutions until you can define and explain the problems.

The is the latest source of information I can find! I am not sure what has changed since 2011. If anything the demographic shifts may be accelerating.
I have always been a believer that culture defines politics.
The culture of America is changing! Here are some interesting tidbits to note
1: Salsa outsells Ketchup

2: Latino Artists like Shakira are selling at enormous volume http://en.wikipedia.org/...
3: Asians are growing at a faster rate than Latinos

What does this say about our "American Landscape" Its changing
From the article cited:
America is in the midst of what is probably the most profound demographic change since the turn of the 20th century, and the census report, I think, was like a postcard from the future. It showed that the rate and pace and extent of change was not only deeper and faster than we expected but more widespread.
You know, we think of growing diversity primarily historically we thought of it as a phenomenon of a few big states and a few big cities, and what the census really showed us was that only is the country becoming more diverse than we thought but more places are being affected by it.
It's not only a phenomenon of Phoenix and Dallas and Miami. Iowa, Utah, Nebraska are seeing substantial increases in their minority population, particularly their Hispanic population. And all of these changes are most concentrated and forceful among the young.
Today, the census tells us almost 47 percent of Americans under 18 are minority or non-white. Under 18, our youth population, will be majority minority by the end of this decade. And it kind of begs the question we're going to have to - we may have to come up with some new terminology once we are in that America.
By all information gathered, Latinos and Asians are Progressive
They support an activist government http://thinkprogress.org/...

They don't seem to embrace the Ayn Rand (Paul) theory of "Overman" or its all about me I am the center of the universe. (no source to cite just a belief from the ones I speak to
Yet, while the demographics are effecting our musical and food choices (culture) the political changes we desire have yet to come to fruition. There seems to be some kind of "Lag" between culture to politics. I have theorized that demographics change culture and culture, eventually changes politics. Maybe this explains the "great day coming" is decades away. They we will have to put up with Koch Brothers, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Fox News, for another few decades In the meantime here is provocative Tango
