How is this even remotely possible when 75% of the U.S. are still “pale whiteys”?

I have seven white children, but most whites have one or two.

Every time I have another kid, I get [in effect] a pay cut. Every time somebody on welfare has another kid, they get a [real] pay raise.

You get what you pay for. And we've been paying for single mother unsocialized minority children for fifty years.

You figure it out.

How is this even remotely possible when 75% of the U.S. are still “pale whiteys”?

Non-Hispanic whites make up 63% of the population. In 2060 they will be 43% of the populaton. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as defined by the USG.

The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.

The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.

The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period. Among the remaining race groups, American Indians and Alaska Natives would increase by more than half from now to 2060, from 3.9 million to 6.3 million, with their share of the total population edging up from 1.2 percent to 1.5 percent. The Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population is expected to nearly double, from 706,000 to 1.4 million. The number of people who identify themselves as being of two or more races is projected to more than triple, from 7.5 million to 26.7 million over the same period.

The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.

Some factoids on education:

There are 10.4 million students from immigrant households in public schools, accounting for one in five public school students. Of these students, 78 percent speak a language other than English at home.

Overall, one in four public school students now speaks a language other than English at home.

U.S. Census Bureau Projections Show a Slower Growing, Older, More Diverse Nation a Half Century from Now

The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.

The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

Most Children Younger Than Age 1 are Minorities, Census Bureau Reports

The U.S. Census Bureau today released a set of estimates showing that 50.4 percent of our nation's population younger than age 1 were minorities as of July 1, 2011. This is up from 49.5 percent from the 2010 Census taken April 1, 2010. A minority is anyone who is not single-race white and not Hispanic.

The population younger than age 5 was 49.7 percent minority in 2011, up from 49.0 percent in 2010. A population greater than 50 percent minority is considered “majority-minority.”

There were 114 million minorities in 2011, or 36.6 percent of the U.S. population. In 2010, it stood at 36.1 percent.

There were five majority-minority states or equivalents in 2011: Hawaii (77.1 percent minority), the District of Columbia (64.7 percent), California (60.3 percent), New Mexico (59.8 percent) and Texas (55.2 percent). No other state had a minority population greater than 46.4 percent of the total.

We have been taking in over a million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS A YEAR since 1990. 87% of the legal immigrants are minorities as classified by the USG. Almost all of the illegal immigrants are minorities with estimates ranging from 12 to 20 million.

We have just had three of the four highest decades of immigration in history. And the birthrates for minorities and immigrants are higher than for non-Hispanic whites. Immigration has driven 80% of our population growth since 1970. Since 2000 our population has grown by 36 million.

Those pale whiteys are either choosing not to have kids, can’t afford to have kids, are too old to have kids, are having kids with other races, or are only having as many kids as they can afford to send to private school.

The sign outside the classroom reads “Welcome” and “Bienvenidos” in polished handwriting.

In time, the classroom sign will read:

Bienvenidos!

(Welcome)

America in the future will be a majority/minority country.

The younger population is already majority/minority.

Eventually whites will be less than 50% of the population of
America.

I like to be optimistic. In that, I think that skin color and ethnicity don’t have to mean that people are liberal or will support Democrats and socialism.

A multi-ethnic America can survive and prosper in the future.

A multi-cultural America will fundamentally change America for the worse.

To me, there is a big difference between being multi-ethnic and multi-cultural.

Conservative principles can and should be adopted by immigrants who have come to this country in such big numbers.

If they are, then we could see a return to traditional values and the multi-ethnic America of the future will thrive.

If we descend into some sort of Tower of Babel, and these immigrants don’t assimilate properly, then we will not recognize this country in about 20 to 30 more years.

It could go either way. Skin color and ethnicity and language are not as important as values people have, in my opinion.

[Dr. Thorne]

Whites are by far the majority in Idaho.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Great post! And +1 on everything you said!

It used to be that being poor meant you lived with what you had and the gov’t wasn’t going to contribute to your bad behavior. My how the times have changed!

Not only do we reward bad social behavior, but we penalize good behavior and those who contribute the most to society (like you sir!). Your 7 children will be quite a legacy.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

The US won’t even be a nation by 2060. We’ll either break up after a bloody regional racial war, or Chris Himself will have come back to restore order.

Libs love to salivate over the demise of whitey. It won’t be pretty for anybody when this statistic becomes a reality because the fact of the matter is, that the culture the browns imported here from their 3rd World Hell Holes, will stay here—to their demise & folly. No “social program” will ever be able to bail them out of what they sowed for themselves.

[Jim Noble]

To me, there is a big difference between being multi-ethnic and multi-cultural

Neither history nor human nature perceive this "big difference" which is so clear to you, unfortunately.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yep. More white parents home schooling or putting their kids in private/Catholic/Christian schools.

Plus the higher minority birthrate.

If these immigrants don’t assimilate, then we will descend into a balkanized Tower of Babel society.

At the time of Congress debating the liberalized immigration law in 1965, sponsor Ted Kennedy said that America’s ethnic balance would not change, and that we would not see ghettoes of people speaking languages other than English in our major cities.

Turns out Ted was wrong.

Are liberals ever right about anything they predict will happen as a result of their “enlightened” legislation and policies?

[wardaddy]

Minorities tend to concentrate.

Whites in those areas go to private school

That is most of the Deep South for one

It also reflects that our school age population is not 75% white but much lower percentage

This is where open borders got us

I warned this over and over here 10-14 years ago and got zotted as a racist

Was I wrong?

You tell me.

The truth is not racist or not its simply the truth

[I want the USA back]

Does that mean they will stop persecuting the White kids, stop denying them opportunities, and stop accusing them of racism every time they breathe?

[wardaddy]

That is not true

That’s 25-40 years off

But coming unless tattooed hipster women start reproducing like pioneer gals

[wardaddy]

Actually Out of Africa

The most self serving evolution plank yet

Is being undermined daily

[pfflier]

Can you imagine what the history lessons are going to look like from now on?

I like to be optimistic. In that, I think that skin color and ethnicity don’t have to mean that people are liberal or will support Democrats and socialism.

Optimism meet reality. In 2012 Romney won the non-Hispanic white vote 59% to 39%. He won the white women's vote 56% to 42%. Romney won the the white vote across all age groups. Obama won 96% of the black vote; 73% of the Asian vote; and 71% of the Hispanic vote. We have entered the era of tribal politics. Skin color and ethnicity do influence the way one votes, especially among minorities.

Conservative principles can and should be adopted by immigrants who have come to this country in such big numbers.

Immigrants are natural Dem constituents who support Big Government and more services. They use welfare to a greater extent than the native born. In 2010, 23 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13.5 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children accounted for one-fourth of all persons in poverty. The children of immigrants account for one-third of all children in poverty.

It could go either way. Skin color and ethnicity and language are not as important as values people have, in my opinion.

It has not been going that way for decades. What is going to change it? We bring in 1.1 million legal immigrants a year, 87% of whom are minorities. Demography is destiny.
