Census shows US is diversifying, white population shrinking

The U.S. became more diverse and more urban over the past decade, and the non-Hispanic white population dropped for the first time on record, the Census Bureau reported Thursday as it released a trove of demographic data that will be used to redraw the nation’s political maps.

The new figures offered the most detailed portrait yet of how the country has changed since 2010, and they are sure to set off an intense partisan battle over representation at a time of deep national division and fights over voting rights. The numbers could help determine control of the House in the 2022 elections and provide an electoral edge for years to come. The data will also shape how $1.5 trillion in annual federal spending is distributed.

Americans continued to migrate to the South and West at the expense of the Midwest and Northeast, the figures showed. The share of the white population fell from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020, the lowest on record, driven by falling birthrates among white women compared with Hispanic and Asian women.

With the Estimated remaining years of life I have left. I won’t have to be concerned about how the country falls apart.

I won’t be here for much longer than 20 years.

Let the “Immigrants” keep the country running as it formerly was as a Free Republic.

It seems to be some grand plan to mix everyone together. Look how Syrians were steaming into Europe a few years ago. And now people from all over the world are coming through our southern border. Perhaps the idea is to destroy the concept of nationalism. We are the world, and all that.

Shoot a black kid and a Hispanic is white. Do a survey and a Hispanic is not white.

Illegals enter the country like cockroaches. Then breed like cockroaches.

The color of one’s skin is not a factor.

It wasn’t a factor during Rome, nor during much of history - what mattered and what matters is culture, societal norms.

A black person from the ghetto has more in common with a white person from the ghetto (think Eminem) than either has with Ken Chenault.

The Asian minority actually got penalized for being a minority - with them having to get even higher scores to get into university

Most of those who came to various countries in Europe weren’t Syrians. These were Pakistanis, Afghanis etc. in the main.

The bulk of Syrian refugees went to Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.

Everyone is mixing together. It is normal - look at your family history and you’ll find probably people from Milanese, Occitan, Catalan, Basque, Irish, Welsh, Kentish, Swedish etc. backgrounds together.

heck, go back 150 years ago and the different nations of Saxons, Bavarians, Prussians etc were forced into the German Empire (it was called an “Empire” as it consisted of different nations).

Ditto for the Russian empire.

Even the “English” never considered themselves as one until the Viking invasions.

The American way of classifying people by
1. “Black” - this is insane - you club together people who have had primarily pre-1850 ancestry with say newer immigrants from Ghana or Kenya? They have nothing in common, not culture, mostly not religion and not accent or attitude.

2. “White” - again, insane - clubbing Irish and English and German together? Completely different cultures, mostly different religion and quite different accent and attitude

3. “Asian” — you mean to tell me a Japanese origin, a South Indian Tamil, an Iranian and a Yemeni have anything in common?

4. “Hispanic” — if anything the most insane - this just clubs people by what some ancestors spoke.

The USA census needs to stop that and categorize people by income levels full stop. End affirmative action based on skin color

“The color of one’s skin is not a factor.”

Have you ever heard of BLM? They disagree. Ever heard of LaRaza? They disagree strongly. Ever heard of the CCP? It disagrees strongly. These are the ones with designs on taking the country over, completely.
