Whether you describe it as the dawning of a post-racial age or just the end of white America, were approaching a profound demographic tipping point. According to an August 2008 report by the U.S. Census Bureau, those groups currently categorized as racial minoritiesblacks and Hispanics, East Asians and South Asianswill account for a majority of the U.S. population by the year 2042. Among Americans under the age of 18, this shift is projected to take place in 2023, which means that every child born in the United States from here on out will belong to the first post-white generation.

Whats Los Angeles’s Excuse then ?
Thank God I'll be dead...
That’s not necessarily true. I know several families that are well off financially that have seven or eight children. I have six myself and I don’t think that I’m mired in poverty.
Gee, now that's interesting. The Chinese guy admits that the so-called American President....isn't.
Quick, someone usher him out of the room.
The Asian countries will rule the planet when whites are passe they still comparitively have their crap together.
No, because as it is, we are becoming balkanized.
If I had one book recommendation another journalistic fad at this time of year it would be Huntingtons last, Who Are We? The Challenges to Americas National Identity. In it, Huntington argued that American culture needed to be nurtured, not rejected in the name of a multiculturalism that too often serves as a stalking horse for anti-Americanism. He recognized that tolerance and pluralism are not modern inventions intended to replace Americas traditional culture, but that evolving notions of tolerance and pluralism are a central part of the American tradition (a point Obama echoed somewhat in his famous A More Perfect Union speech on race last March). For example, every civilization has known slavery, but only Anglo-American civilization, fueled by religious and philosophical conviction, set out to destroy it, at enormous costs. Huntington offered an argument for the importance of Anglo-Protestant culture, not for the importance of Anglo-Protestant people.
I promise that America does not need to have a white super majority in order to prosper. I cringe every time someone implies that minorities are ok people as long as you outnumber them sufficiently.
If that is your first solution, what is your Final Solution?
The Bad part of the article was a cheap shot at Sarah Palin as playing white identity politics. Not only did she never race bait, Todd is part Native American, so her family is ethnically mixed.
The Good part was that it acknowledged that culture will trump racial identity. If future Americans hold true to the values of the Founders, the color of their skin will be irrelevant.
Well said.
I know that The Duggars have 18 and they are a fine well to do family
I sure am glad all that diversity training we invented, endured, and based our society’s stability on will save us from tribalist nonsense and racial preferences when White becomes the new Black.
Gee, I think he's basing it on the vast empirical evidence presented by the rest of the world, which is predominantly non-white.
If you lived in a rich man's house, would that make you a rich man yourself?
Or would you just be a guest, living on someone else's accomplishments?
Those with “special status” as in affirmative action preferences have been in majority status for decades because of the inclusion of women.
White males have been in the minority and discriminated against for at least 25 years.
You forgot the /sarc; some people on this thread will actually believe you
Gosh, guess that settles it!
400 years of history was all a big mistake, all we gotta do now is take your advice and ignore every other miserable failed third world country on the planet and pretend it'll all turn out fine
Been to South Central lately?
Complicated answer:
Because "white culture" (Anglo-European), mostly, prizes self-sufficiency and planning ahead. Until they believe they are able to supply at least a similar if not better lifestyle as they enjoy for their children, whites don't breed.
Basically, its decisions are based on financial reasoning, a sense of individuality, and not the joys of "family".
Non-white cultures prize emotion, family, and are not big on planning or self-sufficiency (Exhibit A: Zimbabwe. Exhibit B: Mexico).
This is why there is no African space program, or South American genome project. It is also why these areas suffer from population explosions, driving existing populations into deeper poverty, and spreading the results of their outlook to western civilization through soft-headed immigration policies.
Hispanic isn’t a race, it’s a language group. I used to work for a fellow from Argentina who told me, “When I got on the plane in Argentina, I was an average sized white guy. When I got off in America, I was a short Hispanic. Hell of a flight.”

True, but since those dear simple souls won't be able to find the "Any" key, I don't have to fear their stinging reprisals...
I just hope that President Hugo De La Hoya Montenegro Chavez Guevara let's us continue to espeaky englaze. That's him on the left, next to his cabinet cholos, and the Patrulla Fronteriza in the back (they're there to keep white people from fleeing the Estados.)
