Census: Fewer white babies being born
By Stephanie Siek and Joe Sterling, CNN
(CNN)– U.S. minorities now represent more than half of America's population under the age of 1, the Census Bureau said, a historic demographic milestone with profound political, economic and social implications.
The bureau - defining a minority as anyone who is not "single race white" and "not Hispanic" - released estimates on Thursday showing that 50.4% of children younger than 1 were minorities as of July 1, 2011, up from 49.5% from the 2010 Census taken in April 2010.
"2011 is the first time the population of infants under age 1 is majority minority," said Robert Bernstein, a Census Bureau spokesman.
The latest statistics - which also count the national population younger than 5 as 49.7% minority in 2011, an increase from 49% in 2010 - portend a future of a more racially diverse America, with new and growing populations playing more important roles politically and economically in years to come, analysts say.
Like other analysts, Kenneth M. Johnson, senior demographer at the Carsey Institute and professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire, isn't surprised at the trend.
"We've known it was going to come, but the question was what year the "crossover point" would happen, he said.
"Little children are in the vanguard of all this change coming to America." he said.
Johnson sees the trend as an opportunity for more Americans to embrace diversity. More children are going to be exposed to a more diverse group of classmates, and that will affect attitudes and outlook.
The changes are going to be felt first in hospitals, as well as schools, where an increasingly diverse child population has to be absorbed. Hospitals would need interpreters and translators, for example, Johnson said. English as a second language would be an educational priority.
While many regions such as Atlanta have a diverse population, other regions lack racial and ethnic variety and will have to deal with a new kind of population, he said. In declining rural counties, he said, an influx of groups like Hispanics would serve to renew communities and changes would ensue.
"For a country that's aging, we need young workers, and the growth of the minority population will contribute to the size of the young adult workforce," he said. "This is breathing new life into the United States."
Jeff Passell, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center, called the Census numbers "a cumulative effect of 35 to 40 years of immigration" bringing large numbers of Latinos, Asians and other immigrants into the United States.
He said the Hispanic population in particular is very young, much more concentrated in child-bearing years, and has a higher fertility rate than the white, non-Hispanic population. Lately, he says, there are a lot more births among native Hispanics in the United States than new Hispanic immigrants, a "cumulative effect" of immigration.
If the trend continues, Passell says several decades from now, possibly in the late 2030s or early 2040s, the U.S. population will become less than 50% non-Hispanic white.
"This is a trend that we can reasonably expect to continue. The factors that determine this have been set into motion, and in demography things tend to change gradually," he said.
There were 114 million minorities in 2011, or 36.6% of the U.S. population, a bump of half a percentage point from 2010. The latest figures count Hispanics as the most populous and fastest growing minority group.
They numbered 52 million in 2011, and their population grew by 3.1% since 2010. The U.S. Hispanic population grew from 16.3% in 2010 to 16.7% in 2011.
"California had the largest Hispanic population of any state on July 1, 2011 (14.4 million), as well as the largest numeric increase within the Hispanic population since April 1, 2010, (346,000)," the Census said.
"New Mexico had the highest percentage of Hispanics at 46.7%. Los Angeles had the largest Hispanic population of any county (4.8 million) in 2011 and the largest numeric increase since 2010 (73,000). Starr County - on the Mexican border in Texas - had the highest share of Hispanics (95.6 percent)."
Asians numbered 18.2 million nationally in 2011, making them the second fastest-growing minority group - up by 3% since 2010. Figures show that California had the largest Asian population of any state at 5.8 million and the largest increase since 2010 at 131,000.
"Hawaii is our nation's only majority-Asian state, with people of this group comprising 57.1% of the total population. Los Angeles had the largest Asian population of any county (1.6 million) in 2011, and also the largest numeric increase (16,000) since 2010. At 61.2%, Honolulu had the highest percentage of Asians in the nation," the Census said.
African-Americans are the second largest minority group in the United States at 43.9 million in 2011, an increase of 1.6% from 2010. New York has the largest black population of any state with 3.7 million and Texas has the largest increase from 2010 of 84,000. Cook County, Illinois, which includes Chicago, has the largest black population of any county at 1.3 million. Fulton County, Georgia, which includes Atlanta, has the largest increase since 2010 at 13,000.
The District of Columbia has the highest percentage of blacks at 52.2%. Mississippi has the second-largest at 38%.
America's native population - labeled "American Indian and Alaska Native population" by the Census - was about 6.3 million in 2011, up 2.1% from 2010. California had the largest such population at 1,050,000 and the largest increase at 23,000. Alaska had the highest share at 19%. Los Angeles had the largest such population of any county, with 231,000, and the largest increase, 9,000 since 2010.
The population classified as "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" was 1.4 million in 2011, up 2.9% since 2010. Hawaii had the largest such population of any state at 359,000 and the highest percentage at 26.1. California had the largest increase since 2010 at 9,000. Honolulu has the largest population of any county at 235,000. Los Angeles County had the largest increase since 2011 at 2,700.
Of single race non-Hispanic whites, California had the largest population at 15 million. Texas had the largest increase since 2010 at 80,000. Maine had the highest percentage of the non-Hispanic white alone population, 94.3 percent.
Four states and the District of Columbia have predominantly minority populations, Hawaii, at 77%, the District of Columbia at 64.7%, California, at 60.3%, New Mexico, at 59.8%, and Texas, at 55.2%. Minorities comprised the majority population in 11% of the nation's 3,143 counties.
Michael White, professor of sociology at Brown University, said the rise of minorities fits into a longer-term evolution of the U.S. population, a mosaic that has been adapting to ethnic change since the first Census was recorded in 1790. There have been many groups represented over time, from enslaved and indigenous peoples, those of European stock, and now to a population reflecting the wider world - truly a "melting pot," he said.
White says it's hard to say how the changes will affect politics and that one can't assume that ethnic patterns will determine voting patterns. Local economic issues, for example, will evolve differently in different states and cities, and there are economic benefits of having a younger population, he said.
"The political dimensions will play out differently," he said. And by the time the babies are old enough to cast ballots, "the United States will be a different place when they are walking into a voting booth."
William Frey, Brookings Institution demographer, sees political challenges for new immigrants and an economy benefiting from their presence. Many Hispanics and Asians are too young to vote or can't cast ballots because they haven't become citizens.
"It's going to take perhaps awhile before the younger people get more engaged in politics. They do have an impact in some places, like swing states, such as Nevada, Colorado and Florida. They can make a difference," he said.
He, too, says that newcomers to the United States bring an energy that invigorates the economic system and an older society.
"I think we're going to just see that the younger part of the population will have a different vibe," he said. "They are sort of needed to help our youthful image and to add to that vitality. They will bring a dimension and element we sorely need."

You are not born to hate.You are taught to hate.
You know whites are going extinct when even white people are celebrating their genocide...
I'm officially in love with this guy now, everone.
Oh grow up.
so so
Whites have always been a minority in Hawaii...GOOD FOR US!!
Except they drive slow in the fast lane and stand still in the middle of the grocery isles in Times! I lived there for 5 years. I move to fast and furious for the ohana culture. Love the people though.
Racist rednecks here in Alabama will be losing their mind over this report, love it !!!!!
Nature respects only those who stand up for themselves and fight. Whites dont want to fight, therefore whites are going to the grave.
definitely swooning now. you're the most attractive man on the planet. let's hook up!
Be afraid when the longships appear on the horizon.
If you force white people to marry only white people . You will kill their happiness. They will go crazy and attack kids and wife too. Kids will turn spoil brats. Do something extremely dangerous and killing themselves.
Some whites prefer to marry outside race. They want to be free as bird.
I think I hear the Tea Party weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth.
here is the typical l1btard, celebrating the death of whites
Idiot, its not the death of anyone. Its the lack of a birth. some peoples kids...
yeh, just the way whites celebrated the genocide of millions of people who were already on the continent when they arrived en masse after 1492
A glimpse into your future whites, historical blame and anger
hmmmm....Let me think why? Is promotion of gay and lesbians are the cause??
If you think that gays and lesbians are the cause of this, then you must believe there are many many more than the right wing is usually willing to admit. I think you better confirm what your xtan fundies say about these things before you open your big dumb mouth and show that you are clearly not with the right wing program.
Awesome.
That's ok babies aren't racist.
and fortunately for them, they won't grow to be racist adults either.
Lot of people dont want me to use the term genocide, but why wouldn't I? Here it is on the front page, it is happening. You can't hide from it any longer, you are being systematically murdered as a race. If this happened to Jews, blacks, hispanics there'd be an uproar and scream, but whites just sit down, it's ok. You going out the door is just fine....
you're getting more attractive by the minute. forget what other people might think, just kiss me already.
How is that even sensible? People are marrying outside their race and have been for a long time, not because they have a gun to their heads either! People CHOOSE to marry and have children by people whom they love. There are a lot of biracial people as a result. It is not self-genocide or anything of the kind!! Don't be ridiculous.
You obviously consider yourself superior to all other races in humanity. So what's the big deal? I'm confident you'll figure a way out of this horrific mess and save us before the year 2032.
Thats why the country is going to hell and has been failing in education and econmics
And what subject is econmic?
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
This country is going to hell because there are fewer white babies than other races being born? This country is failing in education and economics because there are fewer babies being born? I think your bias and racism are more the cause.
Definitely one of the reasons, not the only reason though..
Wow! I'm not Jewish but I am offended by the studidity of this comment. I hope the Mexican Drug Cartels don't come your way.
Bribarian, dude, calm down! Nobody is going extinct! There's no genocide here. It's okay!!
Low birthrates + immigration + high immigrant birthrates = ???
More people.
Pat yourselves on the backs l1btards, you did it.
slow down, baby, I can hardly keep up. just one kiss, please.
I will be the first one to hang a Mission Accomplished banner out in front of my house. =)
Planned parenthood, pop the champagne. It's working. Biggest con ever too, you use their own taxpayer dollars to destroy them.
Wouldn't Planned Parenthood serve to decrease minority populations through effective family planning?
it would johan but i don't think a logical discussion is what this person is after
Abortions will happen whether you like planned parenthood or not. They will continue whether planned parenthood exists or not. They will continue whether the procedure is legal are not, and there is not a damned thing you can do about it.
The least educated people have te most kids, why do you thin kmexicans have 20 kids and whites average 2
IRONY
If anyone has a right to be racist at this point, it is definitely whites.
still waiting on that kiss, handsome.
Nobody told white women to get knocked up then have abortions. Nobody told white women to care more about maintaining a weight of about 105 pounds than having babies. They're too concerned about getting "fat". It's your own fault.
Race will become a choice rather than a destiny
it would be an improvement over ascribed racial privilege.
whattttt
I'm white and I'm not having kids. Too expensive and they are only there when they need you.
Ah but what a joy to be needed. You'll wish you had when you are very old.
"60%-89% Minority" please explain that for me.
It's a conglomerate of all of the non-whites. So 60% minority could be 40% white, 25% hispanic, 15% black, 10% Asian, 10% Indian
Cant. Clearly you are too dumb to understand plain English. Nobody has the time or inclination to hold your hand.
Whites are content with their own genocide, something rarely seen in human history or in any part of nature.
kiss me already, won't you?
You guys watch too much football, basketball, hockey, baseball, NASCAR and video games!!! Then there's the golfing on the weekends with the guys, man-caves and oggling girls with big breasts at the beach. Hey, do you ever take any responsibility for say, snuggley-wuggley-time with the little woman you're married to?? Nah, you're just into the 'spector sports'. Jokes on you.
I wasn't talking about watching the ghost of Aunt Tilley hanging out her laundry in 1806, I meant, Spectator Sports.
WHITES ARE STILL THE SMARTEST.
Joe, where is your evidence that whites are the smartest?
All the data would suggest that Asians are smarter than whites
Oh yes, you are sooooo smart!! Yes you are! Oh, yes you are!!!!
DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS
THAT'S THE DUMBSET THING i'VE EVER HEARD.
If whites were so smart we wouldnt have been tricked
Are you referring to all whites, or only to the ones who know how to use the caps lock key on their computer?
If Whites are ever deemed "smarter" it is only because blacks have been held back in education and opportunity through our shameful history of discrimination. Don't be proud that you achieved more on the backs of your counterparts who have been held back by our own country. If you tied my two legs together making you a better runner than me how proud would you be of running better? Would you gloat? Shame on you!
I'm white and I'm gay – discrimination against anyone or any group must end now!!!! Making up excuses for why it's okay to discriminate against someone like me is not okay. I hurt like everyone else. I was born gay like you were born black or white. Stop hurting me and the rest of us, we wake up every morning and go to work and try to keep a smile on our faces. Please stop aiming hurts at us and making each of our days harder and sadder.
They shouldn't have lifted the ban on interracial marriage or this would have never happened. Vote Republican!
Wait... Wait.... you said you want to legalized GAY MARRIAGE...... Now Census wants more WHITE BABIES?!?!
The only want to have more white babies is. Do like Cows, Chicken do, and automobiles do. Assembly line pregnancy.
There are several possible explanations and reasons for this, among them:
1- white women do abort.
2- white people are or have become sterile.
3- white people prefer to have pets specially dogs rather than children.
4- white people call their pets, specially dogs; baby.
5- white people prefer luxury cars (Ferraris, Lamborginis) over children.
6- white people don't love children.
7- white people don't like children.
8- because of all of the above, God's judgemente is that white people do not deserve children.
9- white people are killing their children
10- after killing their children, white people are eating their children due to eating disorders.
11- white people are feeding their children to their dogs.
A+ for that Troll.
Thanks for the A+ maggotfist, but I'm NOT a troll!
I use the nick Salero21 ONLY, I'm also registered in this site with that nick ONLY. Thought I do participate in several other sites and blogs with the same nick. That does not makes me a troll!
Best regards!
12- There are more people of non-white races than there are white people in the world, and the U.S. population is finally starting to reflect that.
Bad news for Republicons!
the last official count I heard was whites are 2% of the entire world population.
APPLAUSE!!!! THANKS
On second thought enfilmigult, I think I shoul have place number 8 as number 11 instead.
Thanks for the info.
CNN just likes to put people in their emotions. Now people are going to be pannicking, and starting new KKK organizations on random. So many more important things to worry about...like really.
Better get used to it, Bribarian. You and your racist kind are the minorities.
Nah, the sad part is you think people are just going to swallow it up and accept it. In reality people are going to go to their graves fighting this genocide, you watch as the gates of hell open.
I wouldn't be mentioning "gates of hell" talking like that...just saying...
Well, I dont think people are just going to "accept" their own demise...
....but you're the cause of it. You can't have interacial children without whites being a contributing factor. When you "I'm White" idiots become human beings then there is no need for statistics like this.
White vs "The rest". The problem here is "The rest" is made of mutliple ethnic groups. It's very amusing to put them all in the "other ingredients pot". As a white I must admit I fear the day they will all league against us and use my taxes to feed their offsprings and take over the world! This article reeks of xenophobia...
I think the only saving grace of this epic catastrophe is some of these l1btards are going to be hit hardest by this nonsense.
come on, let's kiss!
...Believe me, because of your colonialist history whites will not be missed in a lot of places on earth and your children no longer identify with racial labels.....and that goes for blacks, hispanics and most americanized asians. Think Star Trek if you can see that far ahead.
.......Fake News just went off the air...........gone to the bunker....................
Minority? There is absolutely nothing minor about non-white heritage or placement in this world. STOP referring to yourselves as such. Embrace and love one another, and reflect on how being non-white has impacted daily life, and overall existence. Allow your struggles to teach that being conquered by divisive racism is more reason to unite and banish rifts between yourselves. No one will respect you until you learn to love, protect, and respect yourselves. Be proud, thrive, LIVE!!
Whatever! All I can say is that I like all people. Hope ya'll have a good day!
And ... who cares? No really, who cares? OK, older generations may care as they are more racially biased. And of course there are always going to be new kids trained in the ways of hate. But as a general rule, the issue of race matters less and less for the younger genrations. So while this is an interesting item, it just doesn't matter.
What does matter is all the other ongoing issues of life such as government deficit spending, social programs running out of funds, lack of decent jobs, oil and energy issues, and on and on and on. Does anyone really have any time to care about the color of someone's skin anymore? Aren't we all to busy to care (except for those dedicated to hate of course)? Sigh....
Well Said and SO TRUE!
Are you two nuts???
There are over 7 BILLION people in the world. Less than 2/10ths of a frickin' percent of them are Jews...and you think the Jews control everything???
There are 2.2 BILLION Christians in the world...and less than 13 and a half MILLION Jews...and you think the Jews control everything???
You two must believe that you and everyone like you is incredibly weak and powerless. How sad.
Jews and Liberals have engineered quite a catastrophe here in America. And let's not pretend they haven't pushed for this genocide for the past 50 years. Maybe when l1btards are steering down the barrel of a gangmember's loaded gun it will finally dawn on them what really happened. Maybe not tho.
Here we have a classic example of the dumbing down of America.
Oh hi there
you're cute, let's kiss.
..and PROOF mo rons exist..................
You reeeeeeally need to stop calling this "genocide."
What a cowardly thing to say. How do you explain all those light skinned children running around on the plantation. Hell, they were pregnant getting off the baot. Stop blaming the minorities for thier own enslavement and the resulting "thinning of the "white race" (no such thing)! you brought us here. you married and otherwise procreated with ALL of your enslaved populations WORLDWIDE and then you expect us to just forget about it, move along, I'm tired of being PC and all your other denials. Get used to it! Become a human and join the true population of Earth.
go back to cleaning toilets
that's all you are good for
Love the way the word Liberal is used to mean the down fall of American life. Republitards have done more than their share. If you think otherwise, you're just nutty. : )
Wow, that's awesome! But not awesome for some those racist white people..
thats right because only whites are racist....
Ah....DUH.....
Oh No! we learned from the best. While codifying and projecting your racism worldwide you have provided a classic example of the Golden Rule...."do unto Others...."
I would say there are more minority racists than whities.. srsly dood
Please cite your source
You are correct. you have been creating them for centuries.
Not awesome, minorities will drain our country into further debt. They don't work and want a free ride
I hope that pink ones are coming out OK
hahahahahahahahaha hey pink floyd dat was funnny!
So Hispanics aren't a minority but Blacks are ? Their ancestors didn't choose to come to this country seeking a better life, they had their lives ripped away from them.
The irony is, the idiots posting racial hate, are also the ones who oppose free birth control paid for by the government.
......Republicans.....
LOL! Not one retort? No one can argue sound logic.... Pick your battles idiots.
Let me know when Fox gives you a response......
maybe white/hispanics that happen to be world citizens will be the new majority one day.
Yes definitely will, the whites will rules as always while the hispanics will clean their garbage and do the lawns as always
I assume all the racists and ignorant masses' heads exploded upon hearing this news? I thought so. Well, too dang bad. There's nothing you can do about it nor should anyone want to stop it. It's inevitable and I welcome it. In a few hundred years we'll all be off-coffee colored with asian features, so get used to it. In fact embrace it. Only then will most ignorant racists be history. Of course the haters will find something else to hate about people they don't know.
I TOTALLY AGREE! ABSOLUTELY!
Gotta love the term "Children of Color" outnumber white babies. Yeah, if you include all minority groups, of course they're going to outnumber the majority. And white's a color too.
are you for real – me thinks you need a professional
Whites continue their death march to extinction
Who in their right mind would want to bring children into this f'd up world. We're already taxed into slavery. Just keep pumping out those offspring, I 'll be collecting social security and medicare soon.
With all the illegals mooching off the system you want have a social security check to collect pretty soon
Iran is suing Google for this!
The whites will flush out all the garbage just like we did before when we wanted to take over america from the Native Americans only this time it will be the browns . We still need janitors , garbage men and landscapers though . Hope i still catch them outside home depot .
you need some sun.
This CNN blog has sicker bloggers that even Huffpost. I'm outta here.
Hahaha!!! People like you are so short-sited and ignorant. You're incapable of seeing anything but what is put directly in front of you. Ok...fine. I'll do that now: Vanilla Gorilla, this change is inevitable and you have no power to change it. There are things in this world that are bigger than you and your racism. Race as we know it will cease to exist and, thankfully, so will you.
That's because we support our kids and don't overproduce and go on wellfare
hush up
Could it be that since there's more white gay people.. They don't reproduce I've noticed that whites are the majority of gay/lesbian
or just a lot of savvy well-educated/good looking/nicely dressed straights pretending to be gay so they don't have to marry and pump out litters of crotch fruit. 😉
Time for a new Hitler
You can find one in FRANCE.
ever think the next one won't like you and your ilk?
Are you that chick who put her 5 yr old daughter in the tanning bed?
His name is Obama
Hahaha Aeromechanic.. best update on this page by far... cnn needs to have a "like" button
....doesn't matter, we're all human anyways.
well said
World War III and complete economic collapse are less than five years away, anyway.
Didnt you say this 5 years ago
I agree that our country is the worst for this and there is nothing we can do about it. We created and made this country great- little did we know we would then be handing it over to those who couldn't make their own country the same way.
Worse at what? Being a multi-cultural melting pot? Yea that is a horrible thing. Hate to break this to you but our country was founded on the idea of being a melting pot and being diverse. Makes us stronger. Don't be so afraid, it will be just fine I promise you.
Yes it started with the concept of a melting pot, then turned into the herding of the existing populace onto reservations and then became this great country importing slaves!...I love it here! This is how you run a country!
Of course we have our black eyes but we have over come some of them and will over come more. No one ever said this was a nirvana, just a land of opportunity.
The U.S. was a melting pot from Europe. It was founded on freedom not free range immigration. Study your American history. There is also no country on the planet where multiculturalism works.
So if you are white it is OK? Hate to break this to you but not every black person here is a decedent of slaves, not even the majority. I think you need to study more then just your H.S. history. Multiculturalism is working right under nose in this country. Again no one said it was going to be a nirvana, just a place you can come and have opportunity. Only bigoted people try to hold it back. This isn't going to change in this country. The people here aren't going anywhere, get used to it or find somewhere else to go.
You can make your own country?? With a secret family recipe or, did you look it up on the internet?
Son of a Gun....me and the other eight white guys left are finally in a protected class. I am going to lawyer up and sue for discrimination. Woot – Woot.
LOL Why not...they all have done the same thing. It's our turn now baby!
the white genocide continues
What "genicide" are you referring to?
This story isn't about anyone dieing or being killed.....it's about babies being born.
Genocide? That's what happened to the Jews during WW2.....that's what happened to Africans during the slave trade.....that's what happened to Native Americans during the colonization of the Americas.
What's happening now is that non-Whites are outbirthing Whites.
Seriously, dude.....you need to get a clue!
Have to play the victim don't you. You have no idea what it is like to be attacked like that.
I think you need to examine the definition of genocide a little more closely, just because it doesnt happen with tanks and planes, doesnt mean it isnt happening...
I agree. American culture is being replaced by Mexican culture and African culture. They celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Kawanza in schools now. What the heck is up with that.
We need to wake up and quit being so sensitive to other cultures. They want to be here, follow the norm.
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont never looked so good! Heck, even West Va. or Kentucky will do, at this rate.
One day we'll have a NAAWP
and BET
You WET.
Paranioa is destroya
lol..im not a jew...see my tin foil hat is working!
Our Government should make 10 – 20 child policy
All white people should have 10 – 20 children.
The 'browning' of America continues......and it's evident that you HATE it (LOL) .
We need more white people like Dugger Family.
I look forward to the news that YOU are pregnant. Hey, weird science can happen to you!
Hurry up everyone make your tin foil hats...quickly!
All Jews can do is attack the messengers by calling us silly little names and applying false labels/motives, while engaging in censorship. You simply cannot debate/rebut the facts, so this is all you are left with. Very predictable and quite telling.
Everyone's not equal, it's all a scam, and Corporations and Bilderberg's suck.

I'm upset CNN has allowed for commentary on this article knowing that it creates nothing more than a platform for individuals to incite negativity and racially charged war of words. Half the people making statements don't even believe the statements they're putting out there, but simply wish to inflame others for the fun of it. This is disgusting and there's really nothing to debate. You didn't wake up yesterday and all of a sudden the country changed before your eyes. The nation is and has always been diverse, but not even that should matter if we truly believe everyone is equal as we say we do.
People who enjoy writing hurtful words about other people are fearful and hurting themselves. Forgive them and don't let their meaness take anything away from you.
are you passing out flowers and beads...cause i did not get mine
sickandtired, not that's funny!
Who's the visible minority now?
http://www.policymap.com/crime-statistics/index.html
Well look at that, highest crime is in the Southern US from coast to coast. Almost matches the CNN population map perfectly. Oh, I'm sorry, does that make me racist?
...it make you a sad human being, if anything
You can open your eyes whenever you want.
Watch out, the PC police will be on to you soon and you'll be labled racist.
or sociologist, maybe even political strategist.
Either way, time to sell all the AAPL and snap up shares of Corrections Corporation of America stock.
Eventually, all humans will be brown.
crawling back into the primordial goo that whites managed to escape, all too briefly.
my kid is involved with a white chick..shes ugly as can be..not sure what happened there..be better off with a nice piece of another culture!
You have to ask the question...Who raised the kid?
lol! i tried he was the rebellious one
Is she nice? Does she treat him well? That's a heck of a lot more important than being arm candy.
this would be due to not having free healthcare from the states. When your medical and food are not provided for you (as those who work do not get it for free) you are a bit more cautious of having kids. There are some women out there who need to learn that tax payers money is not yours and to keep your legs TOGETHER!
Get over yourself.
Yeah, but that strategy didn't work for your mom, did it?
t-bone

Jersey sucks!
I knew the end was in sight when the greatest rapper in the world was white and the greatest golfer in the world was black.
Glad to see someone else agrees with me on Violent J!
Eminem sucks, though, so that might cancel it out.
that is exactly what i was thinking.
This is because white people have to pay for their babies and support them as they grow up.
I believe welfare is also available to white people.
Just that white folks have more pride and have been taught to support yourself.
obama conned everyone in 08....
Not really when your other option was McCain/Palin.
Perfect reply. 😉
I hate that people say white is not a color. HELLO!!!! Google 'are black and white colors and see what comes up. Chemists confirm that black IS a color and white is NOT a color. You cannot mix other colors to get white. These stupid 'people of color' statements need to disappear.
Uh...let me rephrase that answer I gave: 1. Black is not a color; a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them to the eyes. 2. White is a color. White reflects all the colors of the visible light spectrum to the eyes.
Oh god, let the vitriolic comments start flying.
Can there be a White Entertainment Television (WET) network now or would that be considered racist?
Hah, I'm sure that would be considered 'racist' which is in and of itself racist.:P
What TV shows will you put on it.
I would say most channels are currently White Entertainment Television.
Trainwreck, I get that channel. Several, actually. I suggest you call your local cable company and request ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Oxygen, Lifetime, VH-1....
i know you wanna be white so quit posting.
There are already plenty of "White" entertainment chanels:
TNN
SPIKE
Sure...you have MTV, LIFETIME, CMT, SHOPPING NETWORK, JUDGE JUDY 🙂 Oh yeah, dont forget OPRAH.
They do, it's called the Histiry Channel...not a black person on it.
*History*
I thnk that keeping track of these numbers is in itself racist. Why are these manipulated figures so important to some people?
What makes you think these stats are manipulated?
Maybe the stats are not manipulated but the definitions certaily are; white people are pure white and all other races only need 1 eighth of that race to be called black, hispanic, etc. Consider that if to be "white" you only needed 1 eighth white blood how that would change things.
don't aks, don't tell
Please show me one single city, town, neighborhood, or street that is BETTER without whites. You can't.
The U.S. was great because of its people. It will fail in the future because of its "new" people.
very true
i just wish we could have a good mix of all people in every city to preserve them
In America you usually see "WHITE WOMAN and BLACK" Couple....
Soon, We will see more Blake Griffin & kris humphries Culture.
Hey don't puke. But they play BASKETBALL very good. They can jump high. Plus, they are tall. It does matter if they look ugly.
The most common interracial couple by far are white men + asian women.
I'm all for it... Asian, Latino, and Asian Indian women are waaaaaaay too hot, and most are more intelligent than men. I say fill up the country with hot, smart women! I'd follow their rule... just sayin.
Very misleading link off of the front page "white babies now the minority". Being less than 50% of the total does not make a group a minority. By this defintiion, everybody is now a minority since no group consists of 50% or more of the births. White babies are only less than all other groups COMBINED.
A minority is any subgroup that does not form a numerical majority.
A numerical majority is more than half (50%) of some group.
Since white babies are not more than half (50%) of the current baby population (under 1 year of age) of the United States, white babies are not the numerical majority of babies.
White babies are a subgroup of current American as a whole. Since white babies are not a numerical majority, they are by definition a minority, a subgroup that does not form a numerical majority.
So all ethnic subgroups of the current population of American babies are minorities. No ethnic subgroup of babies forms a majority.
The crux of this is that if this trend continues, along with immigration by non-whites, white people will no longer be the ethnic majority in the United States. There will be no ethnic majority in the United States. Every ethnic subgroup in the United States will be a minority. White people will be a minority. Black people will still be a minority. Hispanics will still be a minority, Asians will still be a minority.
The current usage of the word "minority" as a reference to "non-whites" will become archaic and meaningless. When whites become a minority among many minorities, with not ethnic majority, the term minority could just as easily refer to whites as any other ethnicity.
Just so you know, this article's percentages are combining all the minorities ( African- American, Latino- American, Asia- American, etc.) into one group vs. the white majority. This still makes white a majority skin color in the United States. Nevertheless, the whole minority majority mumbo jumbo needs to go if we are ever going be able to progress further as a nation. WE ARE ALL AMERICAN no matter the color of our skin. God Bless. USA USA USA
Plurality, not majority.
White people are still the majority in the United States. Non-hispanic whites form 63.7% of the United States population.
I bet you know the blacks and Hispanics and every other race will be yelling no special treatment for the minority whites. Wait and see. The Liberals will insist that whites can not be a minority.
I'm sure you're exactly right Wade. We can thank both the Democrates AND the Republicans for just giving lip-service about securing our southern border for the past 100 years. That is why I'm unafiliated now. They both have failed us and caused this situation. We need to clean out Washinton DC and start over like Libia. That is our ONLY hope. Greed has destroyed America.
Awe, you guys are cute! You should form a militia together.
T-bone,
the Cowboys Suck!!! But the U is alright in my book.
What about the Celtic American's? Don't we count :-)?
Then Whst id the color of Tan Mom Is she white or Black or Wi-Bk ?? It is the colour of skin that counts so what category she goes in?
If we are the minority then I'm marching straight to college, family care, & the food stamp department for my benefits.
Before you qualify I have to make sure you make little to no money first. Being minority doesn't automatically qualify you for public assistance being poor does AND WHITES collect more welfare than any other race. Don't believe me google it smart a$$
you so silly.
Don't count on getting any, my husband has been out of regular work for over 4 years, we live in Calif. have lost our house, medical ins. pretty much everything. We are living on my 14,000/year and help from his mom because we were told we are white and married so do not qualify for anything. Oh, my kids do get a free lunch at school, although most days they prefer what they can scrape together at home to what the school offers.
Just think what you would qualify for if the state didnt give half the cash flow to illegal immigrants.
Contrary to popular beliefs, more whites are on welfare than any other race or ethnic groups:
Here are the statistics on welfare recipients:
Traits of families on AFDC (1)
Race
----–
White 38.8%
Black 37.2
Hispanic 17.8
Asian 2.8
Other 3.4
Who told you that you could not get aid because your white? Which agency and the person's name. I have plenty of clients (families) who are "white" who are getting aid. As for the lunch food, sounds like a personal problem.
Nick I call your BS. Quoted from the AFDC website right now....
Race: About 1 in 4 Black mothers of childbearing ages (1.5 million) were AFDC recipients, higher than the 7 percent of corresponding White mothers (2.1 million). Despite these differences in recipiency rates, Black AFDC mothers did not have significantly more children than their White counterparts.
Humorous considering there are more white people on welfare than black people http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-welfareblack.htm. Go ahead keep lying to yourself.
Briana;
Since there are more white people than anyone else i agree, but blacks are only 12% of the people but 38% on welfare:
This breaks down to:
39% white 11,661,000 of 29,900,000 recipients
38% black 11,362,000 of 29,900,000
17% Hispanic 5,083,000 of 29,900,000

your link has kangaroo in the thread....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Might want to get your info from someplace reputable.
Like maybe the division of Social services.
Population numbers aside, the author above implies only minorities get welfare.
Please read the article before commenting. Whites are still the majority, they are just no longer the majority if you lump every other minority together.
The term "ethnic minority" will become meaningless, as every ethnicity and race will be just another minority. To put it another way, there will be no ethnic or racial majority in the United States.
As for immigration, so long as Hispanics learn English, adjust culturally (not saying they have to completely assimilate, just that they should realize American society is very different and more advanced than Mexico or Colombia, ie. women are supposed to be treated as equal to men, you can't try to force Catholic or any other religious values on others, communism ain't happening), get educated at a relatively good rate, and work for a living, I have no problem with them whatsoever.
I do have a problem with illegal immigration though. The United States has a sovereign right to regulate immigration, and those who invade our country by entering it without or leave should be deported back to their home countries by law enforcement. Anchor baby or no.
YOU PEOPLE DON'T GET IT..ARE YOU ALL BLIND ?? TOO MUCH POT SMOKING ???
WE MUST STOP–SHUT DOWN ALL LEGAL IMMIGRATION . WE DO NOT HAVE JOBS FOR THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE NOW....
NO MORE IMMIGRANTS PLEASE. OUR JOBS ARE BEING OUTSOURCE TO CHINA, WE KEEP ALLOWING MORE AND MORE IMMIGRANTS–ILLEGALS IN ....WE GOT TO STOP IT, BEFORE IS TOO LATE....
I'M PREDICTING A BLOODY REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY SOON........
WE HAVE 50 TO 75 MILLION AMERICANS UNEMPLOYED-UNDER EMPLOYED THAT SPELLS TROUBLE FOR OUR COUNTRY.....TOO MANY PEOPLE AND NO JOBS ====TROUBLE...
From a physical stand point I am half Asian / half non-hispanic white. My children are a quarter Asian, three-quarters non-hispanic white. The only language my children know is American English. We do not eat rice at every meal. We do everything any other US Family does: we work, we pay taxes, we send our kids to school. Nothing exceptional in my family from any other "white American" famity. Do I consider myself Asian? No. Do I consider myself White? No. I consider myself an American whose has a family that can trace its history on this Continent to the American Revolution and possibly beyond.
The census may consider me and my kids as a minority, but I certainly do not feel like one.
And I think I can speak for some of the NM "minorities" that they feel the same way I do. Many "hispanic" families here can trace their presence on this Continent back to Spanish Conquistadors. Do they consider themselves Spanish or Mexican? No. They consider themselves citizens of the US of A.
This whole article is sensational and polarizing.
Being descended from Spanish Conquistadores on this continent is fine. But not all of this continent is the United States of America. Most of the descendants of Spanish Conquistadores have not been citizens of the United States. Except for Florida, Louisiana, and the Southwestern states conquered from Mexico, the United States has very little Spanish colonial history.
The vast majority of American hispanics either came here from another part of the Americas, or are descended from people who came here from other parts of the Americas.
Other than in the southwestern states and a small percentage in Florida, I doubt there are very many hispanics at all in the United States whose ancestors were in the United States before the Mexican-American War.
Then again, the same is true of many European-descended Americans, as Italians, European Jews from various countries, Polish, Eastern Europeans, etc. immigrated here long after the United States achieved nationhood. I don't know what percentage of them came here legally, but I suspect it is higher than the percentage of Hispanic Americans.
Is Tan Mom white or Black?? It is the colour of skin that counts so what is she??
How is this news? I am a white man, and I've been in the minority for a long time, when you compare the number of white men to the number of white women, non-white men, and non-white women.
Ca-ching, you just hit the jackpot of intellect!
Why do we continue to label these groups as minorities if they outnumber their white counterparts? Time for a change in terminology?
See butch's comment.
Until a single ethnic group overtakes whites, they are still the majority. That won't happen for several decades.
Being a racist isn't helping your case any. All the racist and stereotyping comments on here about people of color just go to show the fear you have from being the oppressor so centuries.
What are they gonna do?
Toss us into the cotton fields?
TODAY'S BLACKS, WOULD NOT SURVIVE 6 HOURS WORKING ON A FARM...HARD WORK. THE BLACKS FROM THE 18–19 CENTURY THEY WERE HARD WORKERS, BUT NOT TODAY'S BLACKS...I'M NOT BEING RACISTS , I'M STATING A FACT.
nope..tobacco fields...or maybe the cannibus fields!
I got one better than the cotton fields try prison. You'll be disenfranchised, stopped and frisked constantly, drugs pipelined into your neighborhoods by the government (Nicaguara)...etc..etc...etc.
t-bone?
Wait, so if all the other minorities combined = 51% and whites = 49%... how does that make whites a minority?
49% are white
16% are black
9% are non-black Latino
7% are Asian
7% are Asian Indian
6% are middle eastern
1% are American Indian / mix
and 5% are mutts
Again I ask, how are whites not the majority?
Exactly. Get tired with minority talk. Whites are still the majority group by far.
I'M A HISPANIC GUY AND I'M HAPPY WITH WHITES IN CONTROL AND IN THE MAJORITY..
You are not alone thinking this....Whites are in majority this report is incorrect and did you observe they mentioned "English as Second Langauge" in future..... So what will be the first langauge then? Spanish?? Mandrin?? What?? This report is not correct.
I'M HAPPY WITH ENGLISH ONLY....THE GROUP THAT WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING FROM ENGLISH TO SPANISH IS ??? MEXICANS.. I THINK THAT MEXICANS ARE THE MOST RACIST GROUP OF ALL HISPANIC GROUP.....THEY ARE LUCKY THAT THEY DON'T GET DEPORTED..AMERICANS ARE GETTING TIRED OF THEM, STEALING THE JOBS-STEALING OUR SERVICES THAT WERE MEANT FOR CITIZENS ONLY...MEXICANS ARE PUSHING THEIR LUCK..THEY ARE DEMANDING WAY TOO MUCH....THEY ACT LIKE AMERICA OWE THEM SOMETHING.....THEY ACT LIKE THEY OWN THE COUNTRY...
Lets see.
We gave the power of the highest office in the country to a black man and he screwed us royally.
Imagine what the nation will look like when they run the whole thing.
A Marion Berry for every city!
Who knew the movie Idiocrocy was really a premonition.
Yeah, white guys have done the job WONDERFULLY....
BTW, Obama is white, too.
The white half got elected.
The black half screwed it up.
And we did pretty good for 200+ years under white guys.
Not according to the blacks that voted for him. I guess color is just a perception of the mind.
Funny, if you racist spent as much time trying to fight racism then perhaps this country would be a better place.
I agree!!!!
Why don't we all simply ignore skin color and judge people for who they are and how they act? Why give anyone anything simply because of their skin color? Why should anyone have any advantage because of their heritage? That includes ALL affirmative action.
So after reading the posts on here, who wants to insist the United States is not racist?
Your whole society is in tatters because you just can't get past your hatred for each other.
We're just playing around with this article you danged fool... let an outsider mess with us and they'll end up like Osama Bin Laden. You just been smacked towel head!
No, most of the comments are seriously racist. And the towel comment – wow. Just wow.
I'm a Canadian white guy. There is no neighbourhood in any Canadian city where I'd be scared to walk alone at night. And yes, we have big cities – Toronto is 5 million+. Why do i think it's better? Because although there is racism here, it isn't anything like in the States. And most people are actively trying to overcome racism. When we visit the U.S., we're always shocked by the way people behave there. And when we're nice to black people, they are pleasantly surprised, while white people get angry at us and shoot us dirty looks for treating black people like ...people. Seriously, your society is messed up.
halting racism had come a long way until Obama was elected.
As soon as every person in the nation was labeled a racist if they disagreed with any policy he made it really set the clock back about 60 years.
Democrats are solely responsible for the massive outbreak of racism by their actions towards the rest of the nation.
White Guilt can be a bad thing and the Democrats are full of it.
Dems were labeled racists for not supporting Herman Cain. Then the GOP stopped supporting Herman Cain.
So as this "melting pot" continues, how will people be classified? When does "black" get diluted enough to be "non-black"? How far removed do you have to be from Hispanic origins to be non- Hispanic? Eventually, everyone will be either picking their own race (I identify as "black"), or they will just select "other" and then "other" will become the new majority. Imagine a day when we hold up the "Historically Other College" as an example to follow!
Its not a melting pot until all people "melt" into society.
That means drop the hyphenated names (African-American) and learn English.
Keep your heritage but be Americans first.
Until then we are just a mess.
Define American? Assimilate or die? Act and talk like us or we will destroy you?
assimilate or die works for me too.
When do I get ma welfare check?
It be in the mail as soon as you and your live-in girlfriend have some babies and you quit your job!
Then you quit your job, take the check, and leave the ho and the brat behind. Go find another ho and repeat.
so... why are they called minorities if they are the majority?
Because whites are still the majority. If you have 5 red M&Ms, 3 brown, 3 green, and 3 blue, the reds are hardly "the minority".
That won't happen until they are overall the largest ethnic group, which won't happen for several decades.
I'M A HISPANIC GUY, AMERICA HAVE WAY TOO MANY HISPANICS , WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE...TIME TO SHUT DOWN ALL LEGAL IMMIGRATION....TOO MANY PEOPLE AND NO JOBS FOR THEM AND WE KEEP ALLOWING MORE PEOPLE IN..THAT IS INSANE-CRAZY, BEYOND ME....AMERICA IS GOING TO END UP LIKE CHINA.. CHINA WOULD BE IS A HUGE MESS IF WE DIDN'T OUTSOURCE OUR JOBS TO THEM.....THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE JOBS TO SUPPORT THEIR HUGE POPULATION.....THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE U.S. WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE AND NO JOBS FOR THEM, THAT SPELLS , TROUBLE..
Nope. What you really are is a guy who doesn't understand how economies work or why jobs are created.
Closing our borders won't create more jobs. Quite the contrary. That's because you need people not to just earn money but to spend money. And, without more people spending money, more jobs won't be created.
I like to live mixed white and asian country. Why? Because they have pretty face, and beauty genetics.
I've seen it a lot. Lot of them. around the world. For example. melanie iglesias, kate beckinsale, etc.
I agree.. whites should mix with asian and become the new super-race!
never happen go to any fashion magazine or any popular periodical out there and white women take up 99% of the pictures there are always a few token but facts are facts!
Amy Chua's daughter is soo hot.
If we whites wanted to 'keep America (majority) white, we only have ourselves to blame. Open immigration policies, especially for cultures that still like large families, porous borders – and our desire for small families. We'd rather be DINKs than have the babies to keep our population up. This isn't a complaint – but we can't complain about it.
My mother was a nurse in the L60's. A lady was complaining about 'all her kids'. My mother asked why she had so many. The lady gave her a dirty look, 'that's black power, baby!'
My mother shot back – 'black power' is smaller families, with educated children.
They both had a point. Guess which one is better for the nation?
We have to have smaller families because our taxes keep going up to pay for all the welfare babies!
7 Billion people on the planet and the blacks still think popping out welfare babies is a good idea.
I'M A HISPANIC GUY....AMERICA NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN ALL LEGAL IMMIGRATION AND PUT 200,000 U.S. TROOPS ON THE MEXICAN BORDER.. IF WE DON'T ? THE WORLDS POOR PEOPLE WILL BE IN THE U.S. ON OUR WELFARE SYSTEM.
So do they still want to get rid of Affirmative Action?
My Long-term Girlfriend recently gave birth to a Black Baby...unfortunately I am White ;(
I hope you are also without a girlfriend... she can't deny she was cheating.
Or that she's biracial. Didn't think of that one, did you? Just assumed she "must" be cheating.
