America’s population of white children, a majority now, will be in the minority during this decade, sooner than previously expected, according to a new report.
The Census Bureau had originally forecast that 2023 would be the tipping point for the minority population under the age of 18. But rapid growth among Latinos, Asians and people of more than one race has pushed it earlier, to 2019, according to William Frey, the senior demographer at the Brookings Institution who wrote the report about the shift, which has far-reaching political and policy implications.
The single largest increase was among Hispanics, whose birthrates are far above those of non-Hispanic whites, largely because the white population is aging and proportionally has fewer women in their child-bearing years. The median age of whites is 41, compared with 27 for Hispanics, the report said.
As a result, America’s future will include a far more diverse young population, and a largely white older generation. The contrast raises important policy questions. Will the older generation pay for educating a younger generation that looks less like itself? And while the young population is a potential engine of growth for the economy, will it be a burden if it does not have access to adequate education?
The population of white children fell by 4.3 million, or about 10 percent, in the last decade, while the population of Hispanic and Asian children grew by 5.5 million, or about 38 percent, according to the report, which was based on 2010 Census numbers.

(c) population replacement, as part of it: open borders, official policies of preference against the ethnicities of the country’s founders and majority, race-based selective enforcement of laws meant to protect people from race-targeted violence.
What Dzugashvili, ‘Stalin’, did with ‘Russification’ to the Baltic States, etc., is done here by other means.
That's because your a base materialist. For you, you yourself are the highest calling. That's fine, but it's about pissing distance from nihilism.
Very true, but I would argue it persisted well into the 20th century. The Immigration Act in 1924 was designed to curtail “non-white” immigration of Southern (and Eastern) Europeans.
So, what are the minorities going to do when they have no one left to freelaod off of?
You are quite corect.
No. So they can save the world.
Most Latinos are white. They’ve changed the definition over the years in order to provide special privileges for a certain demographic.
I've heard this a thousand times. Doesn't pass the smell test. First off the early Naturalization Laws were explicitly racially based on "White". The word is right there in the laws.
Southern and Eastern Europeans were naturalized in the US under these laws. That's a fact.
To think that there wasn't a continent wide racial construct among people who came from a continent ruled by interrelated monarchs from Madrid to Moscow just seems far fetched.
Yes, the belief was held by some in America, but not widely, and not in our early naturalization laws.
Compare the caliber of person produced by a homeschooling Christian family to your average government school graduate, and your assertion is justified.
However, we aren’t going to save the world.
There’s only one thing that is going to do that,
and I believe we’re getting close to that event.
I disagree. Granted, I am a materialist, but materialists have certainly been known to reproduce on occasion, after all. I simply have no desire to do so myself. Children are messy, expensive, and require an investment of time and responsibility that I'm not willing to make.
To anyone who does want kids, more power to you...as long as I don't have to help support them.
(and also as long as you don't sit your kicking, screaming little "darling" behind me on my flight to the Cayman Islands this weekend)
1 of 1 with 4 children and 11 grandchildren. I did my part.
You say you disagree, then you go and rattle off a bunch of materialist reasons why you don't want children. You should try not to post during schizophrenic episodes.
Hispanics became the majority in Texas schools this term.

Hispanics now majority in Texas public schools

The Texas Education Agency reports Hispanic students this school year account for 50.2 percent of the state’s 4.9 million children enrolled in public schools, including pre-kindergarten and early childhood education. Hispanics last year made up nearly 49 percent of the students.
It’s hard to imagine the NYT with such a racist story. < /s > The libs must all in a tizzy about this story...
I was simply pointing out that being a materialist does not require one to remain childless. Do you disagree?
Would love to contribute but I’ve got my hands full taking care of existing relatives of all ages. If the Lord wants me to bear children, he’s going to have to select their father and put him at the door with a letter of introduction.
Like I posted earlier with a government that is prejudiced against Whites, no thanks.
If things don’t change here, I see a very Mexico/Zimbabwe 3rd world toilet future, which won’t be worth saving.
What's more, pointing out that I don't want children because I don't want to assume the responsibility of raising them is hardly a materialist reason as such.
If scientists figured out how to do the genetic engineering to make everybody white, what color do you think would be extinct in a few decades? Not white!
