As white Americans move into the minority, some are claiming they're the ones now subject to racial oppression. Do they have a case?
For a small, nerdy cluster of folk -- social science and cultural studies wonks, market researchers, armchair political pundits -- this month is the Super Bowl, Oscars and Olympics rolled into one. That's because the next few weeks will see the gradual, yet grand unveiling of data from the 2010 U.S. Census, an event literally 10 years in the making.
The direction the numbers are headed isn't likely to be surprising: The trend line of increasing racial and ethnic diversity seen in the past three Censuses is expected to continue deep into this century, with experts generally marking 2050 as the year that -- barring radical shifts in policy or social trends -- the U.S. is projected to become "majority minority," with non-Hispanic whites making up less than 50 percent of the population.
But what will this mostly nonwhite America look like? Well, it's likely to be fairly familiar to most of the readers of this column. In the words of Brookings Institution policy fellow William Frey, "More and more, the country is going to look like California."
If that's the case, here's what the future holds for the nation. Based on the Census's just-released topline data for the state, as of 2010, California's population was 37.6 percent Hispanic/Latino, 14.9 percent Asian, 7.2 black -- and 42.3 percent non-Hispanic white. By 2020, Hispanics will have passed non-Hispanic whites as the state's single largest population.
As CNN's John Blake points out in a recent hotly-debated article titled "Are whites racially oppressed?," this projected Californication of American demographics has pushed simmering white feelings of dispossession into the cultural mainstream....

The D is one shaky coalition of wacky white socialists and non-white racists.
Exactly. Don’t cry for me Rhodesia.
Exactly!
You will NEVER see crowds of non-white people marching in the streets or writing articles or running media stories about how we need to help poor, displaced whites.
Nobody is coming to help us. There will be no affirmative action, special gov grants, contracts, etc., for us.
We’ve got to get organized.
“Affirmative Action will end the day Whites start legitimately demanding special treatment as a “minority”.”
And that will be a day of great prosperity. After all, since slavery and it’s aftermath built the entire country up until mid-20th century, when hispanics took over building all that is great about this country, it’s a wonder white folks have been able to manage for as long as they have. Why should they get affirmative action? It would be going backwards into slavery and oppression.
If whites are lucky, they’ll be able to emigrate to the utopian societies of mexico and points south, or perhaps to the genesis of all that is great with humanity in the continent of Africa.
You’re spot on.
Other races evangelize their culture ... trump how great their culture is and organize to gain political and economic power.
But whites are told to sit down, shut up. They’re made to feel guilt, told their grand parents were evil racist, imperialist, greedy capitalists.
In case people don’t know, Europe is literally being swamped with fast-breeding 3rd world immigrants who will own that continent. So whites are losing all of their countries. Except maybe Russia.
Doesn’t matter their skin color. They are socialists and they are doing it.
I don’t care about race!
What is really pathetic about it all is that many on the so called right enable the Marxist. While the left rams race up our rear end, while they enact all kinds of laws, legislation and polices all based on race and decidedly anti-white the right runs around in circles disavowing race. So the right keeps our hands tied while the left advances their agenda.
Coming soon: White rage.

Whites are the only race in the history of man that has willingly GIVEN AWAY their cultures and nations to other races and cultures.
What had taken war, famine, and disaster has now occurred through a combination of a widespread malignant neurosis built on Orwellian lies and propaganda, and a bottomless decline in moral, ethical, intellectual, and educational standards.
“Our diversity is our strength” will someday be seen as the most ridiculously devastating delusion ever to affect any culture. Our “diversity” has caused us to race to the lowest common denominator in an effort to accommodate even the most debased performance, behavior, and lifestyles.
It is worth remembering that many ‘hispanics’ are white. There is a lot of intermarriage, and what are the product - white or hispanic, or what?
The problem isn’t hispanic, but Mexican culture. As more Hispanics drift away from Mexican culture, the difference between white and hispanic will lessen.
Charles Manson, please pick up the white courtesy phone, Helter Skelter is on the line.

Twice? How did that happen?
Fan,
You are correct and I'm with you and won't be around to see it.
If we were still here, we could say, " Yeah, I white but I'm gay".
As long as they didn't make you prove it, we could get bye with that scam and get a better grade of dog food.
“White 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic”
Eggheaded professors and Democrat strategists who gleefully predict the decline of “White America” are looking at abstracts rather than flesh and blood.
The answer to that will be “You had 250 years being the majority oppressors - come back and see us after we get to oppress YOU for 250 years.”
So you have a loooooooong wait before affirmative action ends.
