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.”

“And it’s coming to AZ and TX in 2020, 2022 at the latest.”

FL, NC, and GA aren’t far away either.

So when will the people of color start killing White university professors and government workers and take over their jobs? They should be getting very nervous because when the rabble take over a nation, these people are the first to die.

I think most Asians live along the Left Coast and NYC. They are more in urban areas too.

Affected by their environment?

Asian Voting trends and party affiliation

From the 1940s to the 1990s most Asian Americans were anti-communist refugees who had fled mainland China, North Korea or Vietnam, and were strongly anti-Communist. Many had ties to conservative organizations.

In recent years, more liberal Asian-American groups such as newer Chinese and Indian immigrants have greatly changed the Asian-American political demographics, as well as a larger proportion of younger Asian Americans, many of whom have completed college degrees.

During the 1990s and 2000s, Asian American voting behavior shifted from moderate support for the Republican Party to stronger support for the Democratic Party.

In the 1992 presidential election Republican George H. W. Bush received 55% of the Asian-American vote compared to 31% for Democrat Bill Clinton. Asian Americans voted Republican and were the only racial group more conservative than whites in the 1990s, according to surveys.

By the 2004 election, Democrat John Kerry won 56% of the Asian American vote, with Chinese and Indian Americans tending to support Kerry, and Vietnamese and Filipino Americans tending to support George Bush. Japanese-Americans leaned towards Kerry, while Korean-Americans leaned towards Bush.

Democrat Barack Obama won 62% of the Asian American vote in the 2008 presidential election,with the margin increasing during the 2012 presidential election, where Asian Americans voted to re-elect Obama by 73%.

The word ‘minority’ was banned in 2001 by the San Diego City Council ... because it was deemed disparaging to nonwhites.
Real reason ? whites were a minority.

San Diego has been a majority-minority city since 2000.

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

90+% of the electorate doesn't care about values, yours or anybody else's.

Most nonwhites vote their race, and they always will.

If democrats get back in power they’ll open the flood gates to Central and South American and we’ll be minority white in 3 years.

Democrats FEEL there aren’t enough brown and black hellholes in the world now... so open up the borders and bring ‘em here.

The Democrats are fighting this in several ways.

First, by flooding the country. When a new ethnic group becomes the majority in an area, there is no need to assimilate. That prevents them from moving up and becoming Republican.

Second, by pushing multi-culturalism. It tells immigrants and ethnic minorities it is bad to assimilate. And they guilt-trip anyone who tries to share traditional Judeo-Christian values - you’re oppressing them by trying to assimilate them.

Third, through identity politics. Everyone, be part of a tribe, because that’s the only way you get rights. Good members of all these tribes are Democrats, and those who aren’t Democrats are stupid/crazy/evil/traitors ...

Identity politics is a merger of tribe and faith, or in this case, political ideology. So you get blacks telling conservative blacks to shut up, we don’t want to see you kicked out of places and us shamed because you came out as conservative. You’ll get called a white supremacist like Candace Owen, shut up, we love you.

when whites are the minority all of a sudden it’ll be determined that giving minorities preferential treatment is unconstitutional..

95%, 19 of 20, people are black/brown.

Therefore, wipe out the remaining whites.

And whites are too stupid to see their demise.

At least Poland will survive.

The darker slaughter the lighter people.

What a bunch or Marxist BS. Let’s ask the Hispanic Caucus what they think? Or LaRaza or MEChA or any of the other 100’s of Hispanic groups what they think? Better yet let’s us look to California and see how well ‘conservatism’ is doing in a Hispanic state?
