QUOTE 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. read all   we are taking over. 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. |

It's not that surprising at all. It's already happened here where I live in California. White people are minorities here, and they face reverse discrimination and racism from us LOL.

im not saying this will affect all areas. It probably won't affect MN, where there's about 1 black kid for every 40 white kids
edit: it will be "scary" because we'll have to change the whole mindset |

America is such a melting pot. How is "white" even defined anymore? By skin color? My skin is as white as a baby's ass but I'm Spanish/Israeli for the most part.

imo: White is defined by your culture. Where your ancestors hail from, ect.

I think that this is great for America. Whites will always be able to control the media and what not, because America is run on a good ol boys network.

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.

My skin is as white as a baby's ass but I'm Spanish/Israeli for the most part. I'm betting JC's ass wasn't all that white when he was a baby. But anyway, I think that's neat, but I'd be a whole lot more interested in a moratorium on any racial definition, minority or otherwise. |
