Ethnic and racial minorities will comprise a majority of the nation’s population in a little more than a generation, according to new Census Bureau projections, a transformation that is occurring faster than anticipated just a few years ago.

The census calculates that by 2042, Americans who identify themselves as Hispanic, black, Asian, American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander will together outnumber non-Hispanic whites. Four years ago, officials had projected the shift would come in 2050.

are we gonna start calling white people a minority group? will things change when whites are no longer the majority? can whites keep their hold on things like the media when everyone else is out numbering them? i can't think of more questions to ask about this at the moment, can you? talk about it.

In the larger scheme of things, white people were never the majority. I mean, look at all the other brown people across the globe. China has a fifth of the entire world's population. Yet and still, this white minority controls a major part of the world's power. So it'll take a while to see any of the effects you mentioned, if any effect happens at all.
