The majority of Americans will not be white by 2045, according to data that highlights the US' increasingly diverse population.

An analysis of census data by the think-tank Brookings Institution estimates that white people will comprise less than 50 percent of the US population for the first time in history in little over two decades.

The majority of the population will be made up of minority ethnicities: 24.6 percent for Hispanics, 13.1 percent for blacks, 7.9 percent for Asians, and 3.8 percent for multiracial populations, the analysis claims.

Immigration and an increase in interracial couples are fueling the shift in a new era of so-called majority-minority population.

Some experts have refuted those conclusions though, due to concerns about who the government counts as 'white'.

The population of white Americans is growing older as the predominantly-white generation of Baby Boomers, people who were born in the mid-1940s to the 1960s, ages. The latest census data shows the older population has climbed to nearly 56 million, up from 40 million a decade before.

This generation is about three-quarters white, which has meant that the white-majority population was the oldest of all racial groups per the 2020 census.

Additionally, the 65 and older age group is growing more rapidly than any other, and is the only age group whose white population is expected to grow between now and 2045 and beyond, according to analyses from the Brookings Institution.

Following the Baby Boomers, non-white people accounted for the greatest population growth and drastically drove up birth rates in the US

My thoughts precisely. I did my part, 8 kids and only stopped due to illnesses , cancer and financial distress caused by the stalinist commies.

Classify white Mexicans as hispanics, which is not a race, while blacks continue to abort their future. In addition, census bureau now run by white-hating racists.

Conclusion: White people no longer a majority, even though whites make up 70% of US population.

Rolls eyes.

[Antoninus]

By 2045, about 75% of the "hispanics" will be considered "white."

All this stuff is nonsense.

[Kazan]

Of course, this is only true of one counts white Hispanics as something other than white.

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

You know who said this, right?

His name was Jesse Jackson.

The problem is not color.

It’s culture.

And the problematic cultures have members of every skin color.

The color/culture discussion is a fascinating academic one—and absolutely irrelevant on the street.

The “colorblind” folks around here need to watch old episodes of “Cops” or current episodes of “On Patrol Live”.

A cop pulls over a car for running a stop sign.

“You pulled me over for no reason. You are violating my rights.”

Is the citizen white/hispanic or black?

A cop asks the individual to step out of the car. The suspect puts their foot on the accelerator and flees.

Is the citizen white/hispanic or black?

A cop gets the individual out of the car—and the individual starts running away.

Is the citizen white/hispanic or black?

Your eyes do not lie.

I worked in Manhattan for a LONG time. I’ve seen some bad dudes on the street.

Many were black.

Many were white.

Anyone who carries practices situational awareness. This requires a realistic assessment of the situation, and the realization that beliefs can get you mugged.

When I walked down any side street, I monitored EVERY guy or gal behind or in front of me. I didn’t care if they were white, black, puce or mauve, in a suit, wearing sweats, or in a bikini. Bad guys don’t respect the mental boundaries people establish in their minds, eg “this is such a safe town.”

The “gang of blacks vs whites ” set up is like the “if two identically qualified people interviewed for the job…” set up. It’s an irrelevant fantasy, fertilized by elites to keep us warring.

An error is when leftists say all blacks are guiltless. The corollary, is thinking all whites are spotless. Collectivism always sucks.

[cgbg]

“Collectivism always sucks.”

In theory I agree with you.

In practice I play the odds.

The odds are as I stated them.

Let’s be honest..

You spent time in NY..

Are you safer in Bed Stuy than you are on the Upper West Side generally speaking?

Think about any large urban area, do most white people avoid certain areas at certain times?

I’m not arguing the exception, I’m arguing the general rule.

When black athletes, entertainers and executives who come from the ghetto, strike it rich...do they move back there?

[DoodleBob]

I love honesty.

There are lots of correlations out there.

Many people are driven by correlations.

For example, the overall crime rate in Bedford-Stuyvesant (which is 40% black) is higher than that on the Upper West Side (8.5% black). Thus, many people associate blacks with higher crime rates.

At the same time, the property crime rate for the largely-white Upper West Side is higher than that for the largely-black Bedford-Stuyvesant. Thus, we should associate whites with higher property crime rates.

I get your point.
