Looking at population projections for Texas, demographer Steve Murdock concludes: "It's basically over for Anglos."
Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director and now director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University.
Today's Texas population can be divided into two groups, he said. One is an old and aging Anglo and the other is young and minority. Between 2000 and 2040, the state's public school enrollment will see a 15 percent decline in Anglo children while Hispanic children will make up a 213 percent increase, he said.
The state's largest county - Harris - will shed Anglos throughout the coming decades. By 2040, Harris County will have about 516, 000 fewer Anglos than lived in the Houston area in 2000, while the number of Hispanics will increase by 2.5 million during the same period, Murdock said. The projection assumes a net migration rate equal to one-half of 1990-2000.
Most of the state's population growth is natural, Murdock told the House Mexican American Legislative Caucus today. About 22 percent of the growth comes from people moving to Texas from other states.
About 6 percent of the state's population is not documented, he said.
By 2040, only 20 percent of the state's public school enrollment will be Anglo, he said. Last year, non-Hispanic white children made up 33.3 percent of the state's 4.8 million public school enrollment...
The state's future looks bleak assuming the current trend line does not change because education and income levels for Hispanics lag considerably behind Anglos, he said....

Exactly. Within a couple of generations, those “non-Anglos” will become more American than many of “Anglos” they’re replacing. I say, “God bless ‘em.” And conservative values will win out in the end because leftist “values” (atheism, feminism, abortion, sodomy, nihilism, license, etc.) are dead ends in every sense.
I don’t know what to tell you.
Has immigration from Mexico made California more or less liberal? What about Colorado? More or less liberal?
New Mexico? More or less liberal? Texas? More or less liberal? California is the biggest beneficiary of these conservative values.
Was California more conservative when Ronald Reagan was Governor and before the IRCA amnesty? Was it a better place to live back then?
Certainly, with all the immigration that the Golden State has received, it should be more conservative, right? Los Angeles should be one of the most conservative cities in America.
Those “non-Anglos” don’t become more American than the “Anglos” they are replacing. On the contrary, California and other states become more like Mexico and more inclined to support the Democratic Party.
Just recently, the Mayor of Los Angeles made a request to build an eight foot wall around his mansion. Welcome to Mexifornia.
Those “Anglos” are the people in the South and West who are the base of the most reliable conservative, Republican leaning constituency in the nation.
To the extent the South and West become less Anglo, and more Hispanic, it means that the Democratic Party becomes stronger, which is precisely why that leftists and Democrats are 100 percent in the tank for amnesty and displacing the native population.
Don't blame me, that's something one their past Presidente's said.
Forget about trying to talk sense to Antoninus and Swedeboy2; they've been all over this thread babbling about how wonderful the new Mestizo nation will be, once the vile and evil Americans are pushed out.
Every nation has its traitors.
Well couldn’t Anglos start going to ACLU to seek minority protection and preferential hiring, entry quotas into universities, etc etc???
But you knew that
When you import the 3rd world - you become the 3rd world.
Texas will be no different from Mexico 20 years from now.
The GOP are blithering idiots, they should have never signed on to the 1965 immigration Act which has destroyed the America our parents grew up in. And they are idiots because they refuse to close the border because after all, hiring someone to mow your lawn trumps cultural and national security.
Texas will be lost just like CA was - no longer a GOP state. The conservatives have lost and they don’t even know it.
Simple words like nativists, racist, xenophobe, have taken down not just Texas but huge swaths of the US, Canada, England, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, etc.
But white liberals can’t gloat because in the new 3rd world America they have zero power except maybe in Maine. LaRaza, CAIR, Mecha types will not share power with some white liberal, count on it.
Ping!
If white men would just stand up and tell these whiny punks to shut up, they would shut up. The weak get eaten, and frankly I blame two things, one our wealth has made us fat and lazy, and two our women prize amity over emnity and hence we get PC. Its like our country is a day care center run by fat white females on Zoloff.
All ideology is bunk. Humanity tacks this way and that way and along these ways all the ideologies sold by all the quacks gets displaced and forgotten.
“It’s never going to be ‘over for Anglos’ until Anglos decide it’s over for themselves.”
Your point is very well taken.
However, if you believe what you wrote above, do you also believe that such a struggle could be won “peacefully”?
Where will the Anglos make “their last stand”?
Quick! All white people...to the bedroom!

“However, as someone up the thread observed, ethnicity is less important than culture. Conservatives of any color or language should have more children (and homeschool them or start schools) and leftists of types belong on the Darwinian ash-heap.”
Nope, that’s about 180 degrees wrong.
If it was NOT wrong, we wouldn’t be “where we are today”, both culturally and demographically.
“Culture” is arguably a by-product of “ethnicity”. That’s why the different nations of Europe — even though they were basically of the same race, had enough “ethnic diversity” to result in distinct cultures. If this were NOT true, why aren’t all European cultures the same?
That’s a very uncomforting prospect to accept, in the face of the barrage of multiculturalism.
Didn’t Samuel P. Huntington write a book about this called “Who Are We?”
The title of the article that began this thread was “it’s basically over for Anglos”. That claim was made by a demographer who works with numbers, not cultures or ethnicities.
What difference will it make whether the burgeoning Hispanic population is liberal or conservative?
The demographic reality is that within only a few generations, the Anglo population is going to be gone. It’s makes no difference who the “replacements” will be. The reality is that they “who were” will still be gone.
“However, if you believe what you wrote above, do you also believe that such a struggle could be won “peacefully”?
Where will the Anglos make “their last stand”?”
I don’t have all the answers. I have had challenges myself from day to day in NY. I’m going to have to hedge my answer because I’m not sure we’re all on the same page regarding peace - breaches of peace can be defensive or offensive. If defending oneself, one’s family and friends, and one’s home with appropriate force in response to offensive violence is still considered peaceful, then I consider that this can be done peacefully.
I’m not sure it’s helpful thinking of things in terms of last stands - Anglos, for want of a better term, should go and be wherever they feel comfortable being themselves, living their lives, associating with whomever they feel comfortable associating with, without need to justify it, same as everyone else. If that’s staying where they are and bunkering down, so be it - if that’s moving somewhere else, so be it.
What are you nuts as usual?
latinos abort at higher rates than whites and about the same as blacks
good lord..look it up before you bloviate
In fact, the Mexicans seriously underestimated us as opponents and squandered numerous opportunities to win the war because of it!
It came down to a grim, hard-fought military contest, not a pushover for an aggressive American military "picking on poor little Mexico." Winfield Scott, Jefferson Davis, and Zachary Taylor simply happened to be genuine military genii, backed up by brilliant gentlemen on their staffs! We out-thought the Mexicans, as much as we outfought them in key battles, which were often very close contests.
Those under 40.
It's hot it is. Culture is relative or white culture is evil.
They could not be more stupid or naive or not well traveled.
And yes..there is often not a distinction between culture and ethnicity...they are intertwined.
All one need do is examine latino voting habits...forget all the equating and relativism or demonizing western culture or being silly equating Roman Empire to Azatlan, they vote left as a rule far more than otherwise.
They are some who don't but they are outnumbered anywhere from 5-1 in Kali to 2-1 in Texas.
Folks here like those odds...then they will deserve what they applaud.
This forum has always had a loud group of such dumbasses over anything racial or identity.
The left won the culture war since the 70s..no question of that. If this is the face on young conservartism..the blind ignorance of inconvenient facts then God help us.
startling, epigrammatic aperçu. Kudos!
Anglo? I may be white, but I’m damn well not Anglo. I’m Celtic.
