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.

Hey, I’m gestating my fourth as I type. Don’t blame me!
Having children is expensive once a couple gets through paying for everyone elses who are poor.
OK retirees or soon-to-be retirees... fork over all your retirement funds to educate/feed/amuse/entertain the new minority generation or risk being called racist.
Um...
Not really Breaking News...
WTF!!!!
Even though whites will be in the minority they will still be expected to pay for everything. Notice they don't ask "Will the younger generation pay for social security/medicare for an older generation that looks less like itself?
Never had any, don't want any, won't have any. Go ahead and blame me instead :-)
UNEXPECTED
Braking....
Liberals will soon be happy as they obliterate those horrible, mean and nasty white people. Only then can they be forgiven for causing all of the world’s problems. /sarc
will we be treated as a minority class now. Lower scores and more benefits?

“whites” will NEVER get “minority benefits”, EVER.
Now, my question about the headline is...
I didn’t think albinism was all that common, so what’s the surprise?
Any advocate, defender, or facilitator of this is guilty of genocide, per UN definition. And we all know how much they love the UN.
Is it really a case of the numbers of white children or has the reproductive systems of the minorities just kicked into overdrive?
While standing in line at the grocery store the other day I saw no less than 5 pregnant “minorities” all of whom had multiple kids with them already... and I can only help but wonder how many of them I am paying to feed...

I have a big-assed SUV, whose spread-out-we-are-in-the-USA high and wide rear bumper, might have just enough room to handle that astute and elegant phrase.
Though, I would put quotation marks around “poor”.
Well done.
Too busy working and paying taxes, had our first in our late 30’s. Too late for more now. Guess that was their game plan all along. Use them up while they’re able to pay, pass ObamaCare a decade before we retire.
They’d better work a little harder educating these illegals and other minorities to replace two working adult whiteys contributing over 50 years to the black hole coffer.
Ha! I laugh last!
