Non-Hispanic whites are a dwindling share of the U.S. population, with their numbers dropping in the Northeast and Midwest and growing only modestly in the South and West, the Census Bureau said Thursday.
Whites declined in 15 states, almost all in the industrial and farming states from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania, and from Kansas to Ohio. They also declined in California and three Southern states, including Maryland.
A Census Bureau analysis of the 2010 count showed that the number of non-Hispanic whites rose over the decade from 194.5 million to 197 million, but the 1.2 percent growth rate fell far short of the national increase of 9.7 percent. Non-Hispanic whites are now 64 percent of the population, down from 69 percent a decade ago.
The census also reported that the black population grew by 12 percent. African Americans now make up almost 13 percent of the population, a small increase over the decade. More than half, 57 percent, live in the South, up from 55 percent a decade ago. And six out of 10 blacks live in 10 states, including Virginia and Maryland.
The census analysis of the nation’s white and black population underscores the transformative nature of growth in the 21st century. The number of Hispanics and Asians is soaring, the number of blacks is growing slowly and whites are almost at a standstill.

I realize that Pat Buchanan is ostracized by many here, but he was quite prophetic in The Death of the West. In particular Chapter 9 of his book ("Intimidated Majority") describes the current situation aptly.
So basically, white people use birth control more.
So? Who cares about the racial makeup of our country?
>So, there are “white” Hispanics?<
YES THERE ARE. My ex-landlord here in Hollywood can pass for Brad Pitt. I thought the guy was Irish and he told me his wife (who is also the caretaker) of the apt bldg, who is a white brunette, can no mistakenly, pass off as white.
They are both from Chihuahua, mexico. They have a 5-year old daughter who hands down, passes off as blond kid, complete with blond hair and bluish eyes. Even I could place bets on people to take the bet that the couple was mexican, and I could clean up with that bet. Apparently, there are 2 types of mexicans: the MESTIZOS (white) and the Aztecas’ (the everyday Home Depot stalker type).
This is the same Census people who admitted that they inflated the gay married population by at least 40%??
We should trust them?
70% are on welfare, I don’t think they are adding to the tax base, they are sucking on it.
If a “white” and a “Hispanic” marry, the children are.. "Hispanic" because of all the advantages “minority” status gives them.
If a “white and a “black” marry, the children are ... “black” because of all the advantages “minority” status gives them.
So the numbers of “white” kids constantly goes down through the normal process of assimilation, by definition.
What is hysterical, is the racist nature of the leftist, who think that certain groups will always vote for them because they are defined as a member of that group.
BUMP.
Costa Rica has a lot of “white” hispanics.
I agree. However, the gubmint wants the anchor babies who will (they hope) grow up to produce tax revenue for them.
The only ones dumb enough to listen to the left on that issue?
That is not very likely with the present Publik skoolz
The Democrat hierarchy certainly cares and welcomes a diminished white population. Unless there's an unprecedented sea change, Hispanics and blacks will follow historic patterns, joining the ranks of that political party.
As FReeper nathanbedford (one of the more erudite posters here in my estimation) has succinctly phrased it, "All politics is racial".
I don't think the situation is reversible now since Europeans are no longer the people they were. So allowing more "Europeans" in is not going to solve our problem.
There is hope for making this country great again, but I dare not speak its name.
If we fail to act, in a hundred years, maybe a lot less, we're Liberia. Or Bolivia. Pick your favorite hellhole. That's what we'll be, and the greatest hope for mankind will be no more.
Duh your counting illegals!!!!
Actually, a lot of Irish ended up settling in Mexico. If you travel there (tho I wouldn’t NOW), you’ll find Flynns, Quinns, Murphys, etc. Also, the Spaniards are white, many in Cuba, too. They can, if they want, claim ‘hispanic’ ethnicity on the census/school applications, if they see it benefits them.
Everyone who is a member of a privileged "minority" group and those who buy their votes.
You might think the Post fact-checkers could figure out that Maryland isn't in the South. But you'd be wrong.
...which is a sin against God.
