Census shows US growth driven by minorities; white pop falls under 60 percent
The Hill ^

The growth in the American population over the last decade was driven entirely by minority communities, according to new data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, as the number of white Americans declined for the first time since the nation's founding.

Non-Hispanic whites make up just under 58 percent of the American population, the first time since the Census was first conducted that they have fallen under the 60 percent mark. By contrast, the 2000 Census showed non-Hispanic whites made up just over 69 percent of the population, and 63.7 percent in 2010.

Hispanic or Latino Americans have grown steadily to 62.1 million, or 18.7 percent of the population, up from 12.6 percent in 2000 and 16.4 percent in the 2010 count. Asian Americans grew faster than any other minority group in the last decade, to 24 million, up about 20 percent since 2010.

Counties with populations under 50,000 all lost population on average, according to the Census data. Counties with populations over 100,000 gained 9.1 percent, as more Americans flocked to metropolitan areas and their nearby suburbs.

Overall, 86.3 percent of Americans live in a metropolitan area, a city and its surroundings with populations greater than 50,000, up 2 percentage points since the 2000 survey. The share of Americans who live in rural areas that are not part of metropolitan areas dropped by 2.8 percentage points.

What is the percentages of blacks, Asians and others? If Hispanics are 18.7%, they are severely underrepresented in advertisements, etc.

Mexicans are mostly broke and don’t stand out enough to get enough woke points for guilty whites.

Yet somehow WE are the horrible racist monsnters, and they somehow "enrich" us.

I put “hispanic” on my form. “Only a fool plays a rigged game by the rules.”

Shortly before my dad died five years ago at age 86, I was sitting in his hospice room with him watching the news. There were depressing stories about everything from transgenderism to illegal immigration. One of the last things he said to me: “I’m glad I won’t be around to see what this country looks like in 20 years.”

When we are 49% can I file discrimination suits against my employer, maybe have lower admission requirements for colleges? I bet you not.

Perhaps it is time for white American to walk into Canada and just take it over.

A lot of white people are calling themselves “hispanic” for special benefits. Hispanics are not a race. There will be more and more basically white people, finding ways not to call themselves white to get special government status.

Don’t expect victim status when Whiteys are at 49%. Whitey will be blamed for all the evils of the world way past when all Whiteys are dead and their money is buying malt liquor.

We are toast politically.

Blacks and Hispanics will always support their own co-ethnics over any White person. Blacks might support a White person over a Hispanic. Hispanics might support a White person over a Black. That is about as good as it will ever get.

Whites are suicidal to give support to any Black or Hispanic politician without a very specific quid-pro-quo. Race and ethnicity trumps all other considerations. The folks who refuse this perception are being laid out on the table as lunchmeat. The folks who act on this perception are predators gathering at the table for lunch.

The best we can ever do now is something like Mexico or Brazil. Which, as you might notice, are explicitly racist and bigoted societies which have worked out some uneasy accommodations between a number of hostile ethnic groups.

We might be able to do that.

60%? Can that be true? I’m shocked. Was 80% not long ago.

“White” is such a big net. “Minority” is a asinine term which really doesn’t apply to many areas but the response is MINORITY majority. It is all one big game and I don’t look at people by skin color but the country is completely polarized thanks to Obama and the treasonous sellout politicians of both parties.

Check with the South Africans on that.

TLDR? The short answer is "Never".

Don't be a victim. That status is very overrated.
