Census shows Asian, Hispanic populations booming
The Hill ^ | 6/25/20 | Reid Wilson

Posted on 06/25/2020 6:05:24 PM PDT by Nero Germanicus

The United States is becoming a far more diverse nation, led by surging growth among those of Asian and Hispanic descent, while stagnating fertility rates slow overall population growth.

A new report from the U.S. Census Bureau shows America's population is 60.1 percent white, the lowest level ever recorded. Among those under 16 years of age, fewer than half are white, a sign that white Americans are having fewer children and doing so later in life.

"The nation is becoming more diverse, especially among the young," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.

But the number of Americans under the age of 25 actually fell over the last decade, driven entirely by lower fertility rates among whites. There are 4.7 million fewer white Americans under the age of 25 today than there were in 2010, and 3.1 million more minorities under the age of 25 than there were nine years ago — an overall decline of almost 1.6 million.

The only age group in which whites are growing as a share of the population is among seniors as the baby boom generation ages into retirement.

The number of senior citizens in America, those over the age of 65, has grown by more than a third since 2010, the Census Bureau said. The median age of an American has grown by more than a full year, to 38.4 years old, over the last decade as people live longer and have fewer children.

actually, very true. China is mostly a conservative culture and most of the Chinese fleeing communist China do so to escape the communism there (they do not want to see it here). Mexico is very largely a conservative culture, too. (That many of the above vote D here is largely because the D party reaches out to them whereas nobody else usually does.)

Culturally and economically, most of these folks are natural conservatives.

Many of them are politically apathetic. Those that are politicized think in terms of racial or ethnic identity politics and vote on those issues rather than on culture or economics.

And as far as economic issues are concerned, Mesoamerican immigrants and their children tend to be low income and benefit for liberal social programs.

So what you're saying is mostly wishful thinking.

indeed. the D party has successfully reached out, recruited, marketed, sold itself to immigrants .. even those from generally conservative societies and those fleeing leftist regimes.

how could the D party do this?
because they have had the field almost all to themselves.
for the most part, the R party has ignored immigrant voters

I never really saw Hispanics as the enemy. All of the ones that I’ve worked with has a good work ethic and loved their kids. I did not a similar experiences with all minorities. Although, even then 90% were good folk.

I’ve known my share of knuckle head white boys too.

"immigration moratorium NOW."

Too little too late for whitey. Majority to plurality status in ten years or less. Minority status by 2040? Ozzie and Harriet are dead. The numbers might also explain the lack of uproar for law and order in the current situation. Of course conservatism can thrive among all people, it is not necessarily race based. Right?

You can write in whatever you like and check whichever boxes you want on the 2020 census form. The data will be reported in the “Two-or more races category.”
From the Census Bureau: “An individual’s response to the race question is based upon self-identification. The Census Bureau does not tell individuals which boxes to mark or what heritage to write in. For the first time in Census 2000, individuals were presented with the option to self-identify with more than one race and this continued with the 2010 Census. People who identify with more than one race may choose to provide multiple races in response to the race question. For example, if a respondent identifies as “Asian” and “White,” they may respond to the question on race by checking the appropriate boxes that describe their racial identities and/or writing in these identities on the spaces provided.”

Some people are willing to suffer if it takes others with them

Exactly. Liberalism is the ideology of petty spite.

That explains why the Left's coalition of groups can hold itself together regardless of completely incompatible interests (e.g. feminists and homosexuals joining hands with Islamists) : they can put their differences aside with the shared goal of harming the rest of us.

But they vote dem don’t they?

That’s a statistical fact. Not a maybe.

Maybe they have some idiotic resentment from something long ago and honest I don’t care.

I do know that the only chance this country has is for white conservatives to start having more kids. Or at least kids. Period.

In the wake if 9-11, the stuttering drunk Bush junior could have ended the endless chain migration from the 3rd world that will soon end our country. He had the political capital. He could have shelved the entire immigration system. But instead he spent his political capital on useless wars - while shilling to accelerate population replacement via his illegal egal alien amnesties.

Your post assumes that Bush and his brand of Republicans would have wanted to end mass immigration from the Third World. You know as well as I do that he and his ilk are perfectly happy that there are more Joses and Marias being born in the US today than Joes and Marys - they provide cheap labor for his constituents, and as for the social damage their culture of poverty and crime causes, heck, only the little people have to deal with the consequences of that, not the important elites that count. They just reap the rewards.

Whites don’t reproduce or replace themselves. They will be a minority & deservedly so.

Even if whites are barely at replacement or below replacement population growth, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today if the immigration laws that were on the books had been enforced.

If whites "deserve" to be displaced by Third World peoples, it isn't because we didn't outbreed them, but because we let them overrun the place.

The result of two generations of man-hating, misogamy, bastardy and lack of production on U.S. soil.

When we had huge white population, the Democratic Party held the house the whole time until 1995. What good was having. A white population when they gave democrats the house for at least 40 years.
