Why the Announcement of a Looming White Minority Makes Demographers Nervous

The graphic was splashy by the Census Bureau’s standards and it showed an unmistakable moment in America’s future: the year 2044, when white Americans were projected to fall below half the population and lose their majority status. The presentation of the data disturbed Kenneth Prewitt, a former Census Bureau director, who saw it while looking through a government report. The graphic made demographic change look like a zero-sum game that white Americans were losing, he thought, and could provoke a political backlash.

So after the report’s release three years ago, he organized a meeting with Katherine Wallman, at the time the chief statistician for the United States.

“I said ‘I’m really worried about this,’” said Dr. Prewitt, now a professor of public affairs at Columbia University. He added, “Statistics are powerful. They are a description of who we are as a country. If you say majority-minority, that becomes a huge fact in the national discourse.”

They're nervous because they want traditional white America placid and compliant until it's too late. It's easier to slaughter a placid herd than a herd that's been spooked.

As various groups have become socially, culturally and economically ascendant they tend to vote more conservative.

The Irish used to vote 80-90% Democrat from the mid-1800s until the 1960s. Now its usually about 50-50.

As Hispanics, many of whom marry Whites, get more of the American Dream they will leave the Democrat party.

It’s also an incredible insult to non white folks because it assumes they can NEVER share our values.

30 percent of the spanish vote isn’t good, but it’s not IMPOSSIBLY far away from a decent rate.

You get 40 percent of the Spanish vote in 2044 and 70 percent of the white vote and I bet you win, even then.

Hillary “only” got 78 percent of the black male vote.

But ya know what? That’s STAGGERINGLY Short of the 95 percent the D running for president gets from them

I submit that STUPID YOUNG WHITE FOLKS cause us to lose the house.

I never expected spanish and blacks to vote R at the local level, but the under 40 idiots, they killed us.

One must also consider that liberals don’t consider Asians or people who speak Spanish to be white even if they have blond hair and blue eyes.

Yeah. They will soon run out of the people who are actually funding their socialist utopia.

Honkies ask questions, make elections robust and meaningful.

That means libs have to constantly re-argue their positions, convince people of the superiority of their weak ideas. They are TIRED of that, best for honkies to GO AWAY.

They want people who can wander to a factory assembly station or into a picking field, but too stupid to ask rigorous questions to candidates. Their aim is to live forever behind high walls, seperate from the barely-thinking drones.

They don’t share our country’s values, aim to dominate us like The Borg.

They wander around Earth doing this, smashing countries up as they go.

They will never share our values. They don’t in any of their countries and never have. But even if they could, it still won’t work, since we’re getting a million or more of them every year, the majority poor, ignorant, and entitled.

This isn’t new. It’s been projected at our work since the very early 90s.

If the grouping of exclusively white-skinned is not the most numerous, that does not necessarily make us a minority, Any other class less numerous (Africanized white, black, Indian, Asiatic, pre-European “native” American, mestizo) would still be minority, not majority. Don’t degrade the Caucasian complex quite that fast.

There’s no virtue in white skin. Some of the most ignorant leftists have white skin. I’ll be in heaven by then, and most of younger generation is getting what they want, so have at it and wreck the country. The U.S. was a human anomaly, but they won’t know it till it’s gone.

It’s true that wealthier people will tend to vote more Republican, except:

(1) Asians don’t when they’re well to do.

(2) Older Hispanics currently don’t, though their support at least goes up to 30 or 40 percent.

(3) There is no reason to think minority groups from south America will ever be well to do. It is not true in any of their countries, except where the Hispanics are actually just white Spaniards or Germans. Furthermore, we’re not assimilating them. We are bringing them in a million or more a year. Their children and children’s children, of which there will be many, will all behave like first generation immigrants for the foreseeable future. And even when you hit the magic generational number where they turn American, there will be a million more from Gautamala. And in any case, whites would be a minority and the country would no longer be American.

They are nervous because to achieve this they had to import people from all over the globe, which means people who do not have the same appreciation for the history and meaning of the Constitution and the form of government it created.

I'm not that worried. The main victims of the purges will be libs, because they've spent their careers to date purging their companies, non-profits, and whole professions of conservatives and sensible thinking.
Now you give the Devil benefit of law!

Yes, what would you do? Cut a road through the law to get after the Devil?

Yes. I'd cut down every law in England to do that.

And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted with laws from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's, and if you cut them down -- and you're just the man to do it -- do you really think you could stand upright in the wind that would blow then? Yes. I give the Devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake.

That's true about Hispanics leaving the Democrat party, but the rate of it occurring isn't fast enough to save our country.

What makes me scratch my head is that so many Asians vote Democratic. Yet they are among the hardest working and most entrepreneurial and have strong, traditional family values.

Unfortunately, if we lose Texas, it will be nearly impossible to elect another Republican as President.
