Maybe I should move to the state to 'collect' on my minority status, and more of us non-Texan freepers, too. Of course, if too many of us move there, it could throw off the percentages.

Most educated people will not have children they can not afford.

True, but the more conservative white couples tend to have more children than liberal white couples.. So there is a cultural thing there too.

Well, let's give some props to Mexican Americans.

There is also the mitigating effect of inter-racial marriage...lot's o hot, smart, latinas in Texas. I have a lot of friends married to Mexican American girls.

No need for "whitey" to be scared, I think...after all...this country does many things better than all the others on this planet..."Assimilate" when it comes to jumbling up culutres the US is the "Borg". IMHO.

Press should do a better job positively communicating diverstiy within this country...rather than creating a divide and/or victims.

"I didn't see the word INVASION either, and that is just as applicable"

There's a tagline in there somewhere

Maybe if "white people" would breed more, this wouldn't be such a problem. As is, their birthrate is far under the rate needed for mere replenishment, much less growth.

I seriously doubt that is true in Texas. What is your source?

Seems like Texas is a minority-minority-minority-minority state, no majority.

As we all know, the press will spin it as their agenda dictates the story to have "it"...thus you are correct.

I would add, with "whitey" being the largest minority...hahahahahaha.

The press...juco journalism majors with a keyboard, it's scary what they can do.

"Public policy analysts said these states and the country as a whole need to bring minority education and professional achievement to the levels of whites. Otherwise, these areas risk becoming poorer and less competitive."

Liberal racism!!

The press is playing demogoguery. Yellow journalism.

There are more whites than any other racial group, yet they're considered a minority now? Apparently, it's whites vs. everyone else (the Ryder cup of racial statistics).

Yep...the only thing the press consistantly does with some measure of skill.

LOL, a fine analogy. I only wish resistance were truly futile.

about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities.

I'm not quite understanding this comment.

true, but the ones worth marrying don't generally call themselves Mexican Americans. i would never put another country's name before ours.
