Whites are now in the minority in nearly one in 10 U.S. counties... Developing...

How is the political situation in all of these “white minority” counties (as if I don’t know already)?

[vetsvette]

“So does this mean if I move to these counties I can qualify for minority scholarships and loans to start a business?”

Only if you’re not an evil, white, Christian, heterosexual male.

Actually, I’m talking about genetics.. there isn’t any real ‘pure white’ or ‘pure black’ or whatever.. whether you believe in creation or evolution, you can see that human migration patterns show that over the centuries, we are all mixed up.. we are keeping ourselves in our boxes because we don’t treat people like individuals and continue to group each other..

[Perchant]

This has to includes people from Latin America as being "non-white". Which is, of course, silly.

Does this mean La Raza ( The Race ) represents all white people?

“A diverse racial and ethnic make-up of an area is always a good thing.”

I’d love to see you prove that assertion.

The reality is that, throughout the world, almost violent internal conflicts exist in countries with diverse racial and ethnic populations. It’s hard to find a country with little racial and ethnic diversity that has significant internal strife of any kind. It really doesn’t matter which race or ethnicity, peace seems to follow consistency.

The best thing about it is that the restaurant selection is incredible.

First of all cites that are racially and ethnically mixed have better economies that those that have primarily only one race or ethnic group.

The same cities probably have a larger overall population. All else being equal, a town with a randomly diverse population and similar town with a randomly homogeneous population will probably come out fairly equal.

Second, for most of us living in a diverse neighborhood is more interesting than living among people that are all of the same race.

Now, this would seem to be more a matter of a personal preference. I would not agree, but commenting on another's preference is fairly pointless.

Not necessarily...it could be 49% black, 48% white, 3% asian...

[mnehring]

..but is that a subset of any racial difference or the fact that people keep boxing each other into little categories and tell Box X is oppressing Box Y, etc?

In other words, the violence and conflict you are referring to isn’t really about race, it is about liberal politics to keep people separated and not treat them like individuals.

[scrabblehack]

hmmm...maybe not...no majority there...that would still be whites in minority though...never mind...

[EGPWS]

we are all mixed up..

Sorry, but your statement left you open for that one. ; D

[af_vet_1981]

Color of skin does not mean anything. What matters is where American patriots are a minority.

[EGPWS]

...and then we can do away with affirmative action?

We already have in life with a thriving "Bush" economy.

Affirmative action is just a political talking piece.

A thriving economy stifles jargon.

The way things are headed, there won’t be one majority white nation on the planet by 2050 to 2060. I’d find it a bad development if this could be said of any other race, so I don’t find it particularly advantageous when I consider it for our own.

Despite what our nation is today, there have been very severe repercussions for the minority in other nations. That’s perhaps the strongest reason why I think we should continue to be the majority in at least some nations.

That being the case, I think this is the one where I would like to take that stand.

[NeoCaveman]

Now I can start complaining about “the man”

[NeoCaveman]

Do these girls really favor “choice” or do they want to persuade anybody to have abortions?

I'm not sure, but I bet they are easy....

[skeptoid]

A diverse racial and ethnic make-up of an area is always a good thing.

TOTALLY FALSE.

How did you EVER come to this opinion?!?!

Ergo: please defend your statement.

[Finalapproach29er]

America used to be a fabulous nation when I was little.

Now, it’s a third world flophouse for those who don’t want to be American. Damn shame.

[trumandogz]

Well, the US has a great deal of racial and ethnic diversity and has very little internal strife.

However, nations such as Mexico and Colombia are not as diverse and have much more internal strife than the US.

[rbg81]

If that happens, then everyone will be a minority, and then we can do away with affirmative action?

Sure. Except then the oppressed masses will pass laws to confiscate all your property as compensation for (supposed) crimes commited by your ancestors.
