WHITES: THE NEW MINORITY?
This, according to recently released Census Bureau figures, that white children would become a minority in 2023 and the overall white population would follow in 2042. This estimate is one of four projections based on rates for births and deaths and the scenario that immigration will continue adding nearly 1 million new foreigners each year. The largest group of immigrants is and has been Hispanics, mostly from Mexico, coming to the U.S both legally and illegally. As reported yesterday, they have already begun to make their presence known within the Catholic church. But with their current rate of influx, Hispanics could lead the nations majority by mid-century.
The United States currently has 308 million people today. Two-thirds are non-Hispanic whites. Under the new projection, the total population should climb to 399 million by 2050, with whites making up 49.9 percent of the population. Blacks will make up 12.2 percent, virtually unchanged from today. Asians are expected to increase from 4.4 percent of the population to 6 percent. But Hispanics, currently 15 percent of the population, will rise to 28 percent in 2050. Under these numbers, Hispanics, Blacks, and Asians would theoretically flip to the majority, with Hispanics leading the pack, while Whites would see themselves in the minority for the first time in U.S. history.
OK you're killing me here!Yesterday you say the Latinos are taking over my church. Now you tell me they're taking over my country and I will be a minority. Depressing.
