“America would not be the great country that it currently is if it were not majority white. If, tomorrow, whites became the same on average as hispanics (or worse, blacks) in terms of education, criminality, and family values, the U.S. would immediately become a Third world country.”

America will be a white minority within the next 30-40 years. This will happen with or without your “racial awareness”. Personally, as a Hispanic, I find your comments disgusting and dead wrong. You obviously have your opinion, but I believe that people like you are what is driving minorities away from conservatism. Even as a conservative, I find it very difficult to stay on the same website as people who think like you.

Not if having 3 or more children once again became the norm among whites.

‘Personally, as a Hispanic, I find your comments disgusting and dead wrong.’

I understand why you don’t like them, but I don’t think they are wrong. Please point out which statements are incorrect. Btw I don’t think mass immigration of Indians would be good for the U.S. either.

At http://www.parapundit.com/archives/001959.html it says

‘while 75 percent of white students graduated from high school in 2001, only 50 percent of all Black students, 51 percent of Native American students, and 53 percent of all Hispanic students got a high school diploma in the same year. The study found that the problem was even worse for Black, Native American, and Hispanic young men at 43 percent, 47 percent, and 48 percent, respectively.

The graduation rates tell only half of this story. The other half is just how much did the students learn? When comparing only high school graduates those black and Hispanic students that do graduate score far lower on standardized tests of knowledge on average than white students that also graduate. So the picture is even grimmer than it first appears.’

If the fastest-growing racial groups have high school graduation rates of about 50%, and if even the high school graduates in those groups are far behind whites and Asians at the same level, America is in deep trouble. No Child Left Behind was designed to address this problem, but there is little evidence it is succeeding.
