BALTIMORE (AP) As Maryland's white population shrinks, the number of minorities, and particularly Latinos, continues to increase, according to U.S. Census Bureau Figures released Thursday.
The figures indicate non-Hispanic whites in Maryland decreased by 21,428 between 2006 and 2007, while the Latino population of all races increased by 17,779.
Latinos now make up slightly more than 6 percent of the state's 5.6 million people, whose overall numbers inched up marginally in last year.
Whites represent 63.6 percent of Maryland's population, African-Americans 29.5 percent and Asians 5 percent.
''Maryland has been changing for a while, and these numbers reflect that continuing trend,'' said Audrey Singer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
The growth of the Hispanic population in absolute terms in Maryland has exceeded the growth of the non-Hispanic population for the past three years.
''It's a pretty dramatic difference if you're looking over the course of the decade,'' said Mark Goldstein, an economist with the Maryland Department of Planning.
Much of the growth in the Latino population can be attributed to immigration, Goldstein said. And, the number of minority births in Maryland has been creeping up since the beginning of the decade. During the past two years, minority births exceeded those of non-minorities.
Most children younger than 5 in Maryland are minorities, and public schools are majority-minority, meaning that minorities make up more than 50 percent of that population.
''That's your work force for the future. The work force will be far more diverse,'' said Dunbar Brooks, data development manager at the Baltimore Metropolitan Council.
Brooks describes the increase in the Chesapeake region's Latino population as a natural outgrowth of its relative economic health and closeness to the nation's capital.
Despite a downturn in the housing market, he said, the local economy was fairly robust until recently. Construction has provided jobs for many Latino immigrants, Brooks said, and word has gotten around about the region's desirability. ''As communities grow and thrive, they become attractive in and of themselves,'' he said.
Looking at the number of anchor babies and out-of-wedlock births among minorities, I can’t for a minute believe that the birthrate of minorities is anything other than “whoops...we forgot the condoms” and is most definitely not patriotism-driven or Christian values-driven. It happens like this too often in whites too to be fair.
It seems that the people having large numbers of kids today are either the Duggars in Arkansas (God bless them but 17 kids is excessive on the other side of this coin) or welfare pimps, anchor baby welfare moms, and common “accidental” pregnancies.
“I can’t think of a single state where us palefaces are increasing in terms of % of the population”
I’ll take a few guesses:
Vermont - we will increasingly see whites of means fleeing northward.
The Dakotas
Montana - the “Vermont of the West”, probably Wyoming as well.
West Virginia - few illegals seem interested in the place. I think in the next few decades, WV will become even “whiter” as Euro-Americans from surrounding states migrate there, to be amongst others “like themselves”.
I think Maine will hold steady in the Northeast as well.
As far as living in New Jersey goes, unless you are tied down to the place by your job, who would want to live THERE? (I remember spending time in Jersey in the ‘80’s, and even back then it seemed like “the place to get out of”)....

Other than the property taxes, corruption and fascistic gun laws, its really not a bad place to live if you have the money and live in the right town.
BTW: I always thought that the main reason WV doesn’t market itself more as a retirement community is that its budget is already stretched supporting the oldest state population on a per capita basis.
Bingo. At least, most of the illegals are. But race isn't the problem; poverty behaviors and crime among illegals (requiring vast expenditures by taxpaying legal citizens of all races) are the problems.
But the Duggars pay their own way. I read that they do not take welfare.
Most definitely not, but I think the Discovery Channel has contributed to their bottom line...
I am totally confused about calling Latinos “non-whites”. I guess these so-called experts do that to make it more convenient for the pro-illegals to call us racist.
Most of them are partly white. There are White Hispanics, and non-white Hispanics (Mestizos) who are of mixed Amerindian, Spanish (White) and sometimes Black ancestry.
Most Cubans are considered White. Most Mexicans that immigrate to the US are mestizos.
You forgot about the Mormons in Utah and their high birth rate.
Bttt
Exactly! How can we afford more of our own children when we are already being taxed so much that mothers must leave their children and go to work just to assure a roof over their heads and to be able to pay the taxes. And then Obama tells us that he is going to increase taxes so that he can spend a couple more billion dollars on ending world poverty! Has not America been paying for an end to world poverty for the last thirty years or so through the UN? Have we not already spent ten times as much as Obama promises? Yet their is no end to to the ideologies which such as islam which perpetuates these destructions of family life. How many times must we watch as islam goes in and destroys peaceful christian, or any other religous faithful villages and states for allah?
