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.

Exactly, I am accumulating as much survival stuff as posbbile.
When the savages realize they starve without white america - its over.
What do you expect,The gates are wide open and the third world Riff Raf are flooding in!
Well as a majority “White” population built the USA into a juggernaut then thanks to (may he never rest in peace) Ted the swimmer Kennedy our immigration policy was forced into racist mode giving the 3rd world types a leg up over those evil white European types we are reaping the benefits of diversity.
Want to look into the future to see how a new racial mix will change the country, drive through any old inner city where the whites, and their productivity, have fled leaving behind the diversity crowd. Just make sure you drive fast with the doors locked and windows rolled up.
Detroit is the perfect model for what “diversity” will do to the once proud USA.
I love cold weather!
That is about all the Dems have left is the Zimbabwe option. The easy money sits with whites, just like the valuable farmland sat with whites, but to get it you have to get nasty.
Evangelical “whites” are having large families.
Homeschoolers tend to have large families,
and the children of homeschoolers are of “high caliber” in many ways.
I’m open to having a liberal tell me exactly where in America a non-white demographic has built a decent community that is open to the “diversity” of whites. Frankly this nonsense of calling everyone white a “racist” only smacks of anti-whitism (new phrase I made up).
I’m betting that most of the people in that line paid for their groceries with food stamps or with the proceeds of an affirmative action position. Are they multiplying? Yep, after all, they don’t have much else to do. Our tax money provides all their needs and most of their wants. Do I hate them? No, but I hate what their socialism is doing to our nation.
Saw a happy, attractive young couple at church last Sunday. The woman was VERY pregnant. Then I noticed that in a gathering of several hundred people, she was the ONLY woman who was expecting. From a purely statistical standpoint that was quite disturbing.
If we ever get to deport all of these illegal aliens... this trend will reverse.
LLS
I would posit that whites have been the least able to afford more than a couple children for the past few decades.
Most of the Hispanics and blacks are on welfare and food stamps and won’t graduate from HS...so they aren’t going to pay for anything. The long range forecast is that they will each cost the govt money every day for the rest of their lives.
We are becoming a Third World nation. If I were and educated white male...the real minority today..I would be headed to Australia or New Zealand ..maybe Canada. Or Singapore to make my fortune and escape the growing disaster..
Until they figured out we paid their way.
I haven't seen any palm trees here in Chicago, nor did I see any on visits to Detroit.
My church would “balance” your observation.
75 families, 350-400 kids, 2 or 3 pregnant women all the time.
And continue looking at Zimbabwe to see what happens after the remaining whites pack up and leave.
Exactly. No kids, and I am keeping it that way.
So... is it population density that determines demographics?
What’s your take?
