I wonder if, when Caucasians all over the world become the poor, oppressed minority, they will begin to reproduce like rabbits, and start the cycle again?

Here’s an interesting factoid — LANGUAGES are GOING EXTINCT TOO.

From the article:

_________________________

Of the more than 6,000 languages now spoken on the planet, two become extinct each week, and by most estimates half will fall silent by the end of the century. [5]

A United Nations report claims that nine-tenths of the languages now spoken will become extinct in the next hundred years. [6]

Most endangered languages have a very small number of speakers. Perhaps a thousand distinct languages are spoken in Papua New Guinea, many by tribes of only a few hundred members. Several are disappearing tribal languages spoken in the Amazon rainforest, the Andes Mountains, or the Siberian taiga. Eighteen languages have only one surviving speaker. It is painful to imagine how the world must look to these individuals. They are orphaned in eternity, wiped clean of memory, their existence reduced to the exigency of the moment.

It does go in cycles. What happened after the potato famine, or the black plague?

War is another incentive.
