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.

So are whites the minority now?

Whatever comes around — goes around. Just wait.

Some of those minority babies will be part white and raised patriot.

And how many are anchor babies that should be stripped of citizenship?

Blame starts with Reagan. Too many people to count have contributed since his amnesty.

Fine. Have it your way. How about this. They would have fewer kids if they had to pay, from their own pockets, for all of the cost of their kids upbringing.

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

Until he commits a violent crime. Then he becomes white.

No anchor babies will be stripped of citizenship or deported.

Ted Kennedy, Reagan, George W Bush & Obama are all responsible for the destruction of this country. The invasion will destroy this country.

I never could understand the self hating whites who have been cheering this since the late 1980s.

Or he volunteers for a neighborhood watch and shoots an unruly “preferred minority”...

Whites have convinced themselves they can’t afford to have kids because they have to pay for EVERYTHING for the illegals & welfare cases.

Most Hispanics in the US are mestizo or mulatto. You cannot make a brown man a white man (nor should you). Cultural upbringing and genetics can never be ignored.

You can’t make yellow or brown into white. Sorry.

Ms. Hayek is Lebanese (Semitic) which is counted as white in the US. Most US Latinos are mestizo or mulatto, not white. Brown people have never assimilated into white culture in the US, Canada or Europe. In Latin America, they effectively “defined white down” to include as white anyone who was predominantly white (see Puerto Rico where most “whites” have considerable subsaharan African features).

It isn’t about blame; it is about who will fund them (as wards of the welfare state) when whites are gone. In my area (northern NJ) it is the white-collar “replacement Americans” (Asians) that are expected to foot the bill.

The Welfarians giving birth are simply surrogate mothers for Uncle Sam’s next batch of “clients”; they don’t love or nurture the children they breed for a life of leisure - they just pop them out and let them run amuck (hoping the government will do the rest - including school BREAKFAST and year-round lunch programs in schools - even when schools are closed for the summer).

I’ve posted ad nauseum for years now that the 2050 date for the US having a white minority were nonsense; we are less than ten years away already (based on nothing but my lying eyes and uninformed opinions). My first child was born more than a dozen years ago and was one of just a couple of Anglo babies surrounded by primarily Hispanic ones in a hospital in a “white” area.

Even with Mestizos many have a large European genetic source.

If immigration was slowed down, the Latino community would actually have the chance to assimilate. Not all of them would assimilate into the “white” category like Eastern Europeans, Italians, and the Irish did, but a good amount would to render the category useless.

The [Hispanic] Caucasians will eventually assimilate ...

I agree. Most of my elderly friends from Puerto Rico or Cuba say that their children and grandchildren don't speak any Spanish. They are sometimes sad about this ... but even more sad when their children and grandchildren don't go to church.

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

It'll get a lot more tolerant as it matches Venezuela as a "paradise on earth"....
