Well, maybe we will be finally eligible for free stuff and social justice.
Actually, “hispanic” is not a race and the majority of hispanics in this country are white. This article is useless.
I’m gonna beat the rush and sign up for my minority benefits today!
Minority vs. all other races combined. Hispanics will come close to equalling the number of whites, but the others still fall short.
When whites are a minority, will they become eligible for affirmative action?
As long as good people such as Bobby Jindahl, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, or Allen West step forward all will be well.
If, however, this means more Obamas or Sharptons and the like, we are doomed.
The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.
Yes. We are doomed.
I won’t be here but my kids and their kids will suffer the diversification of America. They will be lucky to speak English by then.
The money will be long gone by then.
Stupid Americans can’t figure out their being incrementally replaced.....
Divide the united....One step at a time.
You should not assume that after 2050 a white minority will be treated with the same entitlements, which have been so generously bestowed on other minorities in the past. In fact the rights of minorities, which have been recognized today, will not necessarily be recognized as applying to the white minority after 2050.
In 1970 one in 21` was foreign born; today it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. In 1970 there were 9.7 million foreign born and today there are 41.5 million.
The author of this study fails to note the importance of immigration to these numbers. Yes, the number of children born to immigrants is high, but we bring in 1.1 million legal immigrants a year, 87% of whom are classified as minorities by the USG. If we substantially reduce legal immigration, we can slow down this trend. It will never be reversed.
Even on FR you can see support for JFK’s plan to replace WASPs with foreigners, who just happen to vote democrat of course.
If one decided to judge by advertising trends alone, they would conclude that whites already were a minority, with white males supposedly being as rare as Peruvian Condors.
Toy commercials will often refuse to acknowledge the white male child, or when they do, he is often pictured as playing alone. I try to read trends in an objective way. No one should be systematically marginalized, especially not a child.
We have seen projections of such population change in the past.
In the early 1900s, for example, there were concerns about immigrants of the era, and their children, overwhelming the native born population.
The difference between now and then, is that immigrants of the past assimilated into America. Today, assimilation is a dirty word. How often do you hear anyone talk about assimilation of the immigrant masses today???
And why do we have to have open borders? We severely restricted immigration in the 1920s, and kept controls in place until Ted Kennedy’s immigration law of the 1960s liberalized things.
Why was it that previous generations in the 1920s could restrict immigration, based on the national interest, but we can’t say that we don’t need or desire any more 3rd world illegals in this country?? What has changed? Are we so afraid of political correctness that by default, we have to have open borders???? What the heck???
Thank you for pointing that out-I was just about to point out that most Hispanics are Caucasian/white, and Hispanic/Latino is an ethnic group-something that way too many journalists conveniently ignore.
