Fertility of various racial groups and certain nations
ChatGPT | 07/25/25 | Me, me, me

ChatGPT says Black women in the US had a total fertility rate (TFR) of approximately 1.514 births per woman.

White women in the U.S. had a total fertility rate (TFR) of approximately 1.52 births per woman in 2024.

Asian women had a total fertility rate (TFR) of approximately 1.7 births per woman in 2024

Hispanic women had a total fertility rate (TFR) of approximately 1.92 births per woman in 2024.

All well below replacement except.....

Immigrant (foreign‑born) women had a TFR of approximately 2.19 children per woman in 2023 – just above the replacement level of 2.1

Immigrant women from Central America, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa tend to have the highest birth rates

Based on these figures, it’s plausible that Mexican-born immigrant women in 2024 sustained a TFR of approximately 2.7 to 2.8,

African countries with the highest total fertility rates (TFR) in 2023 were:

Somalia: ~6.1 children per woman Followed by Niger, Chad, and Democratic Republic of Congo, all with TFRs around 6

Across the entire African continent, the TFR is around 4.1 children per woman

Only for humans can a pregnancy be an “accident”. What we need are more non-injurious and non-fatal accidents. However, more non-accidental pregnancies would be better.

“The Did the fertile women take the Covid jab?”

Covid didn’t help, but the trend was clear well before Covid and has since flattened quite a bit.

I never considered these countries wealthy enough to AFFORD so many kids...I guess I was wrong.

“many of the children die in infancy.”

Some do, but not NEARLY AS MANY as in the past, and nowhere close to 50% anymore

I ‘ve long ago lost count of the number of pregnant women I’d seen in clinic over the decades who would say something like “we only did it once,” or “he pulled out” or “we use condoms” or “but I was careful and watched my cycle” and my favorite “but I was on my period!” or any of the usual excuses for why she “couldn’t be pregnant” but, there was the HCG level report from the lab or her home pregnancy test with the little plus sign as counterpoint to her argument.

I learned to tell people (men AND women) this simple rule:

INTERCOURSE is how women get pregnant, no matter how careful or what form of “birth control” you use, there is ALWAYS a chance she can become pregnant.

This drive to reproduce is as deeply embedded in our DNA as eye color.

Thank God.

Poverty correlates positively with birth rate.

So - what’s the difference between being “fertile” and actually conceiving and carrying a baby until birth?

High fertility rate + US welfare system = millions of America-hating Somali invaders

Meaningless data. Skewed.

Which races murder their children most?
Which races birth control prevent children from being created?
Which races actually give birth is really tertiary.

These are the relevant true data points needed.

Economic euphemisms like fertility and productivity are annoying. All fertile women have a fertility rate of one baby every 9 months, sometimes more with twins and triplets. Economic “fertility rate” has nothing to do with fertility or rate. And economic productivity is mostly about automation, and little to do with employees working harder. Economics is an art, where the experts are almost always wrong. It can never be a science. The “Nobel Prize” in economics isn’t even an actual Nobel Prize, but big government central bank funded propaganda. Economists are politicians in disguise, and just as scummy.

Don’t over complicate what I posted.

We WANT more babies. As long as the RIGHT people are having them!
