White Americans' majority to end by mid-century

Postby SultanOfSwing » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:59 pm

Hmm... interesting topic. White Americans no longer a majority by 2050, :shock: I'm sure the KKK and White supremacists group won't be delighted on this projection. :twisted:

The United States has 308 million people today; two-thirds are non-Hispanic whites.

The total population should climb to 399 million by 2050, under the new projection, with whites making up 49.9 percent of the population. Blacks will make up 12.2 percent, virtually unchanged from today. Hispanics, currently 15 percent of the population, will rise to 28 percent in 2050. Asians are expected to increase from 4.4 percent of the population to 6 percent.

No problems with not being in majority.
Amazing that folks worry about such stupidity. I think most people here on this forum will sleep just fine. Tito might have one eye open. :wink: :lol: :lol:

60%of the Hispanics and 80% of the Asians think they're white anyway, so I don't know if they can really be considered minorities. The blacks on the other hand are sporting a Logan's Run life cycle as half of the young males end up getting capped or incarcerated before they reach 25.

This video may have been posted before, but it's something more to consider than which race has the highest population.

LOL. Another possibility of diminishing white population is inter-racial marriage. It's true that if hispanic or asian male or female married to white person, their kids considered themselves more of white kids. But if a black person married to white person, their kids consider more of black kids. Why is that?

Caucasian teens are the majority when it comes to purchasing hip hop music and clothing items, accounting for over 70% of the sales. The mulatto kids are just following the trend set by the white kids of emulating popular black culture.

Dimishing white population? Geez... That's called evolution.

And it's not like a 1/2 white 1/2 black mulatto kid is predestined to consider themself more black than white. It all depends on how the parents raise 'em and where they grow up. I'm mulatto (scandinavian/senegalese/french), and I don't consider myself more black than white. You state it like it's some fact, man, which it is not.

I assume you don't live here in the U.S. I'm not saying not all mulatto are considered themselves black but most of interracial kids particularly children of black and white couple believe me majority I knew they considered themselves more on black than white. They dress and talk more ebonics and hang out more with black people.

Look at Tiger: Tiger is only one-quarter black, but he is labeled black by many and called out by some b/c he doesn't label himself African-American or black. He actually has more Asian percentagewise. America is a melting pot of ethnicities.

"Earl, a retired United States Army lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran, was of mixed African American, Chinese and Native American ancestry. Kultida (née Punsawad), originally from Thailand, is of mixed Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry. This makes Woods himself half Asian (one-quarter Chinese and one-quarter Thai), one-quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch.[16] He refers to his ethnic make-up as “Cablinasian” (a syllabic abbreviation he coined from Caucasian, Black, (American) Indian, and Asian)."

Hmmm. Well, :? I believe it goes as far back as the raping of Slaves; Mexicans; Asians; Indigenous people that render us mixed like it or not. I don't think anyone in this country could possible be pure of any race no matter how they are perceived or appear. MBPL

The History channel or NATGEO, I can't remember which one, had a program where they tracing people's backrounds and it was amazing. There were so many white people, particularly in the south who had some type of African heritage in them even though they looked 100% white.
Tracing blacks was even more cool because of the immaculate records kept on the slave ships as the cargo was treated like any other merchandise. They could actually tell people today what exact area and probable village their ancestors came from back in Africa.

Very well, thank you. What we lack in monetary and materialistic possessions, we more than adequately make up for with and love, and thankfully good health.

Hello Don! See, I did not mix up your name with "Dan" (St John) whom, btw I harrassed on another thread. It was fun, tee, hee! Yea, I probably should check out that channel, sounds fascinating! :D


I've been watching you, you know, checking out those abs.


Ha! More like FLABS! I only look fit cause I'm stretched out. The other pix show my fat-ass belly when I am curled up! Hope you and your family are doing well for the holidays! :D


Very well, thank you. What we lack in monetary and materialistic possessions, we more than adequately make up for with and love, and thankfully good health.


Same here. :D

Re: White Americans' majority to end by mid-century

The United States has 308 million people today; two-thirds are non-Hispanic whites.

The total population should climb to 399 million by 2050, under the new projection, with whites making up 49.9 percent of the population. Blacks will make up 12.2 percent, virtually unchanged from today. Hispanics, currently 15 percent of the population, will rise to 28 percent in 2050. Asians are expected to increase from 4.4 percent of the population to 6 percent.

I'm sorry, am I missing something in this story? Doesn't "49%" still equal the majority? The way this is worded has always been weird to me. It's as if ALL minoritys consider themselves a collective, and as we all well know, they do not. It's not the idea of this that bothers me, it's the wording.

I agree with you. Whatever the projection is, clearly whites are still majority in numbers. I think the author is trying to emphasize that currently whites represents the majority of U.S. populations versus the collection of minorities consists of Blacks, Hispanics and Asians. Base on 2005 US survey, white populations is 67% and the rest which are minorities is 37%. But as I said, one reason of dwindling white population is the result of interracial kids and of course the continued influx of immigrants. Who knows by year 2100 majority of people here in the US are all minorities consist of different ethnicities.
