The “Quiverfull” movement is based in the San Antonio area. I know white, Protestant families there with 18 children. However, there just aren’t enough Anglo large families to make up for an average (among Hispanics in my church in NC) of about 4.5 children per family.

However, as someone up the thread observed, ethnicity is less important than culture. Conservatives of any color or language should have more children (and homeschool them or start schools) and leftists of types belong on the Darwinian ash-heap.

“However, as someone up the thread observed, ethnicity is less important than culture. Conservatives of any color or language should have more children (and homeschool them or start schools) and leftists of types belong on the Darwinian ash-heap.”

Nope, that’s about 180 degrees wrong.

If it was NOT wrong, we wouldn’t be “where we are today”, both culturally and demographically.

“Culture” is arguably a by-product of “ethnicity”. That’s why the different nations of Europe — even though they were basically of the same race, had enough “ethnic diversity” to result in distinct cultures. If this were NOT true, why aren’t all European cultures the same?

That’s a very uncomforting prospect to accept, in the face of the barrage of multiculturalism.

Didn’t Samuel P. Huntington write a book about this called “Who Are We?”

The title of the article that began this thread was “it’s basically over for Anglos”. That claim was made by a demographer who works with numbers, not cultures or ethnicities.

What difference will it make whether the burgeoning Hispanic population is liberal or conservative?

The demographic reality is that within only a few generations, the Anglo population is going to be gone. It’s makes no difference who the “replacements” will be. The reality is that they “who were” will still be gone.
