I’ve got no problem with a majority of any race as long as they espouse the same economic and social values that I do.

Problem is, as a whole they do not. Of course, the whites here don’t either.

Standards are only for those who can pass tests,
Othterwise they can do a project.

Schools are expanding classes for non-English speakers and creating smaller classes in schools with large numbers of minority students.

As I see it, the thrust of the article is that there are a lot more students named Shaniqua, and fewer students named Jeffrey. But where the need for classes for non-English speakers comes in, I'm not quite sure ...

LOL-good point.

"creating smaller classes in schools with large numbers of minority students."

Wow, we could really play the racism card on that statement. Are they saying minority students are harder to control? Are they saying white kids deserve larger class sizes?

“In California Gray Davis held a celebration when the white populace in the state dipped below 50%. And no, that wasn’t racist at all... (Harumph!)”

Heh what a dweeb

i used to think the left was not on a ‘ throw western civilization down the toilet’ mission because of a white guilt complex.

Now i believe that theory :) If you listen to liberals you cannot help walking away with that impression

White parents do not name their children Jeffrey anymore. They are more likely to name the newborn male infant "Aiden".

More parents are choosing unique rather than traditional for babies

gah. i wonder what it is like to have a mind that is incapable of anticipating the outcomes of certain events

They're probably looking forward to affirmative action benefits. :)

When the San Diego determined that non-whites were a majority, the city council removed the word “minority” from all official documents.

So are they considered a minority then?

I work with Hispanics and even one of Native American descent who REFUSE to classify themselves as Mexican or Native American. The Native American was denied a job promotion and I asked him to challenge it since he was 1/2 Indian. He said his past performance and other qualities should have been the deciding factors, not his ancestry. I have much more respect for him ever since he made that remark.

I’d like to submit this article for your reading enjoyment. I was so impressed with it, that I bookmarked the thread.

This article breaks down the liberal mindset in the United States quite well. It’s definately worth a read and a rememberance to boot.

It explains in a clear manner why the libs don’t care if the U.S. is lost. Read it. Let me know what you think.

That means they can file for minority benefits.

There’s no mention about private school enrollment. It’s not unusual for the parents (typically white) to remove their kids from failing public schools and put them in private schools where they can get a better education.

Count on it. They’ll all move to your city. When the money and jobs move out, the minority have nothing to stay for.

Minorities outnumber whites in Md. public schools

My first thought upon seeing that was, "Yeah, so what?" Demographics change, and I couldn't care less whether or not I'm part of some racial majority. But looking at those graphs, especially the sharp increase in the Hispanic population in some areas, I'll bet that's not due to birthrate, or even legal immigration.

Schools are expanding classes for non-English speakers

Bingo.

Gee, I’m shocked. The only people who put their kids in public schools are those who can’t afford to have them educated somewhere else.

By 2050, non-hispanic whites will be 50% of the US population

Immigration, legal and illegal, are changing the demographics of the country. 60% of the annual 1.2 million legal immigrants are Hispanic and over 90% of the 500,000 to 1 million illegals who enter the US each year are Hispanic. With a population at replacement level, i.e., 2.1 fertility rate, it doesn't take long to change the compostion of a country. In less than 100 years, Hispanics will go from about 1 % of the population in 1950 to 25% of the population in 2050.

If immigration continues at current levels, the nation’s population will increase from 301 million today to 468 million in 2060 — a 167 million (56 percent) increase. Immigrants plus their descendents will account for 105 million (63 percent) of the increase. The total projected growth of 167 million is equal to the combined populations of Great Britain, France, and Spain. The 105 million from immigration by itself is equal to 13 additional New York Cities.
