Minority babies outnumber whites among US infants
McClatchyDC ^ | June 23, 2016 | Teresa Welsh

White babies are now outnumbered by minority babies, according to new population estimates from the Census Bureau.

In 2015, racial and ethnic minorities made up 50.2 percent of babies under a year old. That year, there were 1,995,102 minority babies born, just slightly more than the 1,982,936 white babies born.

The 2015 data was released Thursday, as was updated data for previous years. These new figures show that in 2013, minority babies also outnumbered non-Hispanic white babies by about 1,000 births. In 2014, white babies were outnumbered by about 16,000.

Original data from 2011 showed that white babies were in the minority, but those figures were revised in 2013 to show that the white infants were still the majority. But the new information released Thursday shows that the original figures were in fact correct, and minority births outpaced white ones.

When whites are a minority do they get affirmative action too?

I hope Jack Kemp suffered at the end. And I pray that any malady will befall Paul Ryan. I don’t blame the left, like Ted Kennedy. It is the traitors amongst us that made the unkindest cut of all

A mostly-white baby counts as a minority. They’re falling back on the old “one drop rule” that racist Democrats used for decades.

Kemp was a good man. He was a nice man. He was a fiscal conservative. He loved economic growth. He should have been president in 1989 or in 2001, things won’t have been rough today. The Bushes did a mediocre job.

The old order Mennonites and Amish are growing steadily. They never accepted birth control within marriage.

What could possibly go wrong? After all, the Constitution will work equally, for all peoples. Hispanics and blacks are “natural conservatives” and stuff.

This is only because:
A. Hispanics count as their own race instead of Spanish speaking whites
B. Half-white half Asian/black/Hispanic/Native American children all count as the non-white ethnicity. If even half of them counted as white instead of minority, the “white” percentage would be 3.5% higher (7% of children are interracial, most half white, half something else).

I predict the Latino/Hispanic term will be ending soon. Just like we don’t call people “ethnics” anymore. The Caucasians will eventually assimilate, while the Indian, Black do the same. The Democrats will desperately try to prevent this though.

It never was a race to begin with.

While it is a fact that Jack Kemp in the early 90s was a big proponent of immigration—he is hardly responsible for the craziness today since he was nothing more than a popular pundit and failed VP candidate. It was Bush II who left the borders wide open.

I wonder how many of those “minority” babies are half white? Half of my grandkids are Eurasian, so I suppose they would be counted as “minority”. And since their mom is of Filipino descent they would probably be considered “Latino” due to her last name, despite the fact that none of them speak Spanish.

the “white” percentage

Most of my family tree is good European stock. But, alas, I do have some French in me.

So when us old crusty white guys die off will the place get better or worse?

I thought you were going to ask who is going to pay for all the stuff the "minorities" get from taxes paid by the "crusty white guys".
