Minority babies outnumber whites among US infants

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.

From Wikipedia:

Salma Hayek (born September 2, 1966) is a Mexican-American film actress, producer, and former model. ...
Hayek was born Salma Hayek Jiménez in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico. Her younger brother, Sami (born 1972), is a furniture designer. Her mother, Diana Jiménez Medina, is an opera singer and talent scout. Her father, Sami Hayek, is an oil company executive and owner of an industrial-equipment firm, who once ran for mayor of Coatzacoalcos. Her father is of Lebanese descent...

Whole family seems to be adapting pretty well for Semitic-Mesoamericans who most people would call white. The older word, often applied to old Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew villains, was "swarthy."

Yes, the Levantines (Syrians and Lebanese) are quite successful throughout Latin America. Does this mean that the hordes of mestizos that form the bulk of Latin American immigrants are a genetic and cultural asset
to the US? NO.

[Clemenza]

Most Puerto Ricans have sizeable subsaharan African ancestry (usually 15-35%) and will always “stand out” racially. They are what we used to call “colored.”

Artificial means of birth control are the immediate cause, accompanied by a lack of grace in marriage.

[Tax-chick]

Words fail me as I attempt to convey my overwhelming indifference towards this “information.”

I hope you have a nice day in that dimension in which a person’s hypothetical percentage of sub-Saharan African ancestry is meaningful.

This is part of what Briton just voted against. They realize that with huge demographic/racial change comes cultural change and destruction and ultimately nation change and destruction. Hopefully we will follow suit.

Man up!

Genes determine how we behave as well as our ethnic and racial identity. One cannot ignore the heavy cultural and genetic impact of miscegenation with Africans in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

I would also add “women’s liberation” which convinced women to abandon their homes and seek fulfillment in the workforce, leaving little time or inclination to raise children.

[af_vet_1981]

Add pornography to the equation, whereby men corrupted themselves, as well as women and children. May God have mercy on our nation.

[Clemenza]

The fact that we are effectively redefining the white race to allow for mongrelization a la Latim America proves to me that we are a Third World country.

[af_vet_1981]

Genes determine how we behave as well as our ethnic and racial identity.

False; faith determines how we behave. God is calling a people unto Himself out of every tribe under heaven. If the Houses of Abraham and David were not always well behaved and faithful, and they were not, how can one boast of genes and ethnicity ?

It’s not that easy.

Almost 2/3rds of the population of Earth are “Asian”. 48 countries are “Asian”, including Russia, Georgia, Iran and Israel.

Currently, the United States Census Bureau defines six race categories. According to census reports, the largest number of Hispanic or Latinos are of the White race.

Because Hispanic roots are considered aligned with a European ancestry (Spain/Portugal), Hispanic/Latino ancestry is defined solely as an ethnic designation (similar to being Norse or Germanic). Therefore, a person of Hispanic descent is typically defined using both race and ethnicity as an identifier — i.e. White-Hispanic, Black-Hispanic, Asian-Hispanic, Amerindian-Hispanic or “other race” Hispanic.

This disparity is true throughout central and South America as well. For example in Mexico, for many years the sole distinction between Mexicans and Indians was that “Mexicans wear shoes”. But in the 20th Century they adopted over 100 distinct racial designations, including three or four different blended races categories, such as “Chinese-Anglo-Negro-Indian”.

It is made even trickier by the fact that Hispanics will cross breed with just about any race, except Hispanics from another country, whose pairings are in a fraction of a percent. That is, Mexicans do not marry Hondurans or Cubans or Guatemalans or Venezuelans, etc.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Did I say that? NO.

As the descendants of great civilizations (Maya, Inca, Aztec and Spanish) I think they have the "genetic" capacity to form great civilizations again. "Culturally" they'll have, I hope, enough resilience to throw off the failed and fetid Socialists they disastrously elected, and get back on track with better, freer political and economic institutions.

In their homelands. México libre. Centroamerica libre. El Caribe libre.

Not in Texas and El Norte.

[Clemenza]

That's because mestizos in the US don't have a category, and many Mexican and Puerto Rican Americans of racially mixed stock identify as "white" in the secondary category even though they are neither genetically not culturally white. If you look at the census data from the border counties in Texas, the majorly self identify as "white", but if you've ever been there and seen or spent time with the locals, they are anything but.

Unless we shift immigration preferences back to Europe, we will "define the race down" as they do in Latin America, and become culturally and racially a third world country. Whether or not that is a good thing is up to individual opinion.

Muhammad became the most popular boy’s name in London in 2012. I wonder how far behind them we are?
