GOP shouldn't panic if whites become a minority
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 2, 2011 | Michael Barone

Posted on 04/03/2011 8:27:03 AM PDT by re_tail20

Are whites on the verge of becoming a minority of the American population? That's what some analysts of the 2010 census results say. Many go on, sometimes with relish, to say that this spells electoral doom for the Republican Party.

I think the picture is more complicated than that. And that the demise of the Republican Party is no more foreordained than it was a century ago when Italian, Jewish and Polish immigrants were pouring into the United States in proportions much greater than the Hispanic and Asian immigration of the past two decades.

The numbers do appear stark. The census tells us that 16 percent of U.S. residents are Hispanic, up from 13 percent in 2000 and 9 percent in 1990, and that 5 percent are Asian, up from 4 percent in 2000. The percentage of blacks held steady at 13. Among children, the voters of tomorrow, those percentages are higher.

But it's a mistake to see blacks, Hispanics and Asians as a single "people of color" voting bloc. The 2010 exit poll shows that the Republican percentages in the vote for the U.S. House were 60 percent among whites, 9 percent among blacks, 38 percent among Hispanics and 40 percent among Asians.

Simple arithmetic tells you that Hispanics and Asians vote more like whites than like blacks. The picture is similar in the 2008 exit poll.

Moreover, while blacks vote similarly in just about every state, there is wide variation among Hispanics. In 2010 governor elections Hispanics voted 31 percent Republican in California, 38 percent Republican in Texas and 50 percent Republican in Florida (where Cubans are no longer a majority of Hispanics).

Being a minority doesn’t concern me. Being a minority to perpetual revenge seekers is a whole different matter.

However, the revenge seekers will find that we’re a very large and industrious minority that won’t take easily to servitude.

Mr. Author,

Italian, Jewish and Polish immigrants are Judeo-Christian peoples and have corresponding values, which this country was founded on.

Oh, and for the most part, they came here to be AMERICANS, not hyphenated this or thats, here for free handouts, unlike many (but not all, so please do not flame) of the newbies.

Thanks Ted Kennedy, Hell can't be hot enough for you.

Multiculturalism is established by Marxism to make one race hate the other. We should never divide people according to race. I could care less about skin color. I care about the character of people. That is what matters.

I am much happier that we have Mexicans flooding in rather than the Muslims, like European countries because the indoctrination and irrational and deadly rules of islam are anathema to Western Civilization.

We have to educate our children with Christian values of character and virtue and then we would have as perfect of a world as you could ever expect, here on earth. Worldview is what is important. Race is meaningless.

I’m not worried about ‘whites’ being the minority. I’m worried about Americans being the minority.

I see a parallel here in how Neanderthals disappeared and Homo Sapiens dominated.

Homo Sapiens didn't kill Neanderthals. They interbred with them. We all carry Neanderthal genes. Neanderthals didn't go extinct so much as they were absorbed.

Half the people in my neighborhood are mixed-race couples, and this is a pretty normal neighborhood.

The difference is that when the other nationalities came to this country, it was so they could make a life on their own sans government aid. The recent immigrants are here to suck the life out of taxpayers by demanding benefits (handouts)from us. Why would they ever vote in a party that asks for personal responsibility?

I have a lib family member that held that study up to me, gloating.

I told her she was right, and that’s why the Dems were opening the border to flood over as many immigrants as possible. She changed the subject. I brought it back.

She changed it again.

To see what happens when whites become a disenfranchised minority, look at Zimbabwe and South Africa.

When the mobs start dragging whites into the street for fatal beatings, where will we go? By that time Europe will have been swarmed under by muslims too, and Canada will be no better than the US....

The whole US government is anti white.

You can see it in many government buildings in downtown washington DC where every floor has an EEOC office.

Those offices do not promote white people. They intentionally promote everyone but white people.

Its to the point where most federal agencies in downtown washington dc have people of color far in excess of their porportion of the US population.

Same goes contracting to the US government. A naturalkized citizen originally from any other country in the world (but europe or australia) has a better shot at getting a government contract than a white native born.

Barone and Marxist in general can Go F Themselves.

I could care about the GOP but I do care about my family, my culture and our heritage. In a nation that promotes anti-white race groups of all kinds, that promotes tribalism among non-whites but chastises white unity of any sort, that promotes Latino Studies, African American Studies and all kinds of other ‘evil white man’ crap that blatantly is involved in discrimination against whites not to mention is actively engaged in a population and culture replacement the idea that we have nothing to worry about is an outright disingenuous and dangerous lie.

Most Hispanics are “white” so why aren’t they counted as such?

One should remember that just because a place is overwhelmingly White is no guarantee for political sanity. After all, look at hyper-White New England, which should be ultra-GOP by that racial reckoning, and it’s mostly moonbat.
