America’s population of white children, a majority now, will be in the minority during this decade, sooner than previously expected, according to a new report.
The Census Bureau had originally forecast that 2023 would be the tipping point for the minority population under the age of 18. But rapid growth among Latinos, Asians and people of more than one race has pushed it earlier, to 2019, according to William Frey, the senior demographer at the Brookings Institution who wrote the report about the shift, which has far-reaching political and policy implications.
The single largest increase was among Hispanics, whose birthrates are far above those of non-Hispanic whites, largely because the white population is aging and proportionally has fewer women in their child-bearing years. The median age of whites is 41, compared with 27 for Hispanics, the report said.
As a result, America’s future will include a far more diverse young population, and a largely white older generation. The contrast raises important policy questions. Will the older generation pay for educating a younger generation that looks less like itself? And while the young population is a potential engine of growth for the economy, will it be a burden if it does not have access to adequate education?
The population of white children fell by 4.3 million, or about 10 percent, in the last decade, while the population of Hispanic and Asian children grew by 5.5 million, or about 38 percent, according to the report, which was based on 2010 Census numbers.

Not that attractive as you're not willing to combine genetics with them. We'll put you down as "auxillary".
Good book. Italians generally did not attain “whiteness” until after WWII. There are also books by Roediger and Matthew Frye Jacobson that discuss “whiteness” with respect to Southern and Southeasterm European immigrants.
Thank you! I couldn’t have put it better myself - 100% accurate.
FREERIDERS....Guilty as Charged.
My mother’s side is Polska-From the Kracow area. I’ve often wanted to travel there to see it and consider settling if they keep following more sane policies.
Zakopane has become a Vail, horribly commercialized, from what I’ve read. Western and Eastern Karpatian Mountains look much better now. I’m thinking too.
There are some types of combinations that I'm perfectly willing to engage with them :-)
Reproduction just isn't on the list...
It's always helpful to define terms...let me see if I can understand where you're coming from. I listed as reasons for not reproducing:
I'll give you #2. #1 isn't quite as strong, but the mess children make and all the associated hassles are material in nature. #3 & #4, though...not so much.
What would you consider non-materialistic reasons for not having children?
I disagree with your premise and hope to have kids but
It took a week to house train my puppy, yet it takes 3+ years to potty train a kid.
God or evolution (which ever you believe) really screwed that one up.
“How is bringing children into this viper pit productive?
The world has always been a viper pit. In fact the one who it belongs to has long been referred to as a serpent.
Any number of people throughout the ages could have taken your stance with a lot more basis for it.
“Why would I bring any children in to this World? So they can be taken into slavery by the Mongol hoards”.
“Why would I bring any children into this world? So they can die from the Black Plague?”
“Why would I bring any children into this world? So they can be slaughtered by marauding Norsemen?”
Thankfully your and my ancestors were made of sterner stuff. This world today is a cakewalk compared to days long ago.”
Your post is nonsense.
Fully effective birth control didn’t arrive until the 1960’s with oral contraceptives.
Those “people throughout the ages” had babies whether they wanted them or not. There did not yet exist totally reliable methods to keep nature from taking its course.
Once women “gained control over their bodies”, EVERYthing changed, particularly in the West (but not necessarily limited to The West, as consider the plummeting birthrate in Japan).
It is women who have by default chosen the future of The West, by rejecting their traditional roles of mother and homekeeper. I’m not going to say that’s “wrong”, I’m simply stating that it _is_.
Look at the plunging birthrates in Europe. Those women are childless by choice.
Whether it be in the face of Mogols or the black plague, women of that time had no choice. The men had them, and they got pregnant.
Ain’t that way no mo’....
I look forward to it. Time for the Gotterdammerung to come and come with a vengeance. More than anything, it’s long overdue and we must ready ourselves.
How many of those children have parents that came here illegally? I really thought that after 9-11 our southern border would be secured and that a crackdown on illegals would occur. The Dems of course want the illegals here for their votes and the GOP is too scared to be labeled as anti-Hispanic.
Our local abc news had some fat, drunk welfare prince, camping in a local National Park, demanding that both sides "compromise" to keep our Parks and our perks open and coming... he said compromise was the American way... compromise is what has brought us to the brink of destruction and the end of the American Dream. These kinds of people are why I see America disappearing... at least some part of it. Maybe that is what should happen. I refuse to live under a communist sharia nation... not going to happen. The Republic of Texas sounds pretty good... or maybe a confederation of free states... my first choice is to save America that I love by returning her to the form which made us great in the first place... and return her to GOD's grace once again also.

I’ve read his book, mmm hmmm...
No. Really.
That having been said, it still has useful information regarding retreats, long term survival off the grid, etc.
I haven’t made it through all of Patriots, but I have read the “green book”.
I also know the characters to which you refer.
There is a lot of useful information, but there’s also a lot of stuff that I’m just not going to do.
I think the most useful thing was the idea of having a trailer loaded up with your stuff, sitting in a storage unit, ready to hook up ‘n go.
Most whites will have one zero children. Thats the problem which is only compounded by the fact that non-whites are having 2-3 or more...
Just so you know, the last reply on this thread was over 5 months ago.
