Answer to Question 2

The kaleidoscope offers a familiar, yet more useful, analogy. Patented in 1817 by Scottish scientist Sir David Brewster, the kaleidoscope is both a toy and increasingly a table artifact of upscale living rooms. Users of this optical device are aware that when they turn a set of mirrors, the colors and patterns reflected off pieces of glass, tinsel, or beads seem to be endless. The growing popularity of the phrase people of color seems made for the kaleidoscope that is the United States. The changing images correspond to the often-bewildering array of groups found in the country.
