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 know same here! I take my grandson to the parks around his house and mine and he is almost always the only white kid there. It makes me wonder do white parent just not take their kids to parks or what’s going on? Where ARE all the white people?
Seriously? We all should, at least those of us who want to keep what the white men built, which is (was) the greatest country in the world.
I went to Hollywood for work for the first time in 08. I thought everyone there would look like Baywatch. NEVER MORE DISSAPOINTED LOL. It is really a nasty, dirty place full of fat people. And all the studios moved to Burbank.
According to the census I am a single Mexican 38 yrs old, no kids, huge income. Just doing my bit to straighten the bell curve.
So who's killing the planet? Let's hear about that.
Not all studios are in Burbank. Paramount is still on Melrose after 100 years and most of them are situated close to Universal City. Only the Obama ass-kissers at Sony Pictures are far away in Studio City.
Yeah, I’m also close to Musicians Institute and Hollywood Film School...these “schools” churn out more wanna-be directors who eventually become baristas at Starbucks. Idiots libs most of them.
“termites?” What is wrong with you?
ah, the good old “one drop” rule again.That blows away my family, where it’s Edong marries Cathy, Miguel Marries Christina, Maria marries Jack, etc. etc. etc.
As for all of this being good for Democrats, remember that Hispanics have “family values” if the Rpublicans could stress this, and of course, the writer doesn’t realize that Bobby Jindal and Nikky Haley are both Republicans.
the “la raza” folks forget that a lot of “hispanics” aren’t Mexican (ask my Colombian born adopted son about Mexicans)...and they ignore all the Filipinos, Iranians, South Asians, and Koreans in California, and that the Spanish elites originally “Stole” the SouthWest from the Apache, Commanche and Navajo...
and don’t forget good “hispanics” like Bernardo O’Higgins and Alberto Fujimora...
Whites to Become a Minority in Texas
Texas demographer: ‘It’s basically over for Anglos’
By Gary Scharrer – Texas Politics – Feb 24, 2011
Looking at population projections for Texas, demographer Steve Murdock concludes: “It’s basically over for Anglos.”
Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director

Texas White Anglos Become Minority
EL PASO, Texas — Texas has become the fourth state to have a non-white majority population, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday, a trend driven by a surging number of Hispanics moving to the state.

Absolutely. It's the shared American values and ability to communicate that matter.
“I heard about that too. The white mexicans just didn’t like the dark-skinned mexicans and vice versa. They are more educated and won’t even bother jumping over the border. I heard the same thing from my Italian grandmother that northern Italians treated the Southern Italians like crap due to skin color.”
I have two personal experiences to relate, one regarding Mexicans, and one regarding Italians, and their own versions of racial bigotry. When I was young and living for a few years in the south side of Chicago, around the Marquette Park area for those that know Chicago, my apartment building was owned by a Hispanic couple in their mid-30’s, Phyllis and David (they took Americanized names, as they both came from Mexico initially, not American born). They were ambitious, and Phyllis was the power behind the couple. That was because Phyllis was cute, and very, very white complected. She was of Spanish heritage in Mexico, and was as pale skinned as any Irish lass with red hair. Blue eyed, light hair, refined features, pretty. Her husband David was, as far as I could tell, a Mestizo, much darker skinned, with some obvious Indian facial features, a nice looking man, and an extremely hard worker. He worked night and day, and worshipped the ground his wife walked on. Meanwhile, Phyllis used her light skin and more aristocratic features as a weapon with her husband. He worshipped her for her whiteness, she looked down on his darkness, and never let him forget what a prize he had married by getting such a lighter caste woman for a wife. David continued to work his butt off to please his wife and give her anything she wanted. Actually, in spite of what I am saying here, they loved each other; it’s just that the power balance in that relationship was so obvious, and it was mainly based on racial distinction.
My second story is from when I was on a train in Italy years ago, going from one city to another near Rome. A man was sitting in the seat next to me and we struck up a conversation, in pidgeon English on his part. He was from southern Italy somewhere in the vicinity of Naples, and worked in northern Italy. As we spoke more and he loosened up, he lit right into the prejudice he felt in northern Italy because he was a short, dark, swarthy, southerner, unlike the northern Italians, fair skinned, light haired, more refined and urbane. He was really bitter about this.
So, the moral of the story is, no matter where you go in the world, there is prejudice, and caste systems, whether named or unnamed, and such is life.
“Phyllis used her light skin and more aristocratic features as a weapon with her husband. He worshipped her for her whiteness, she looked down on his darkness, and never let him forget what a prize he had married by getting such a lighter caste woman for a wife”
I see that type of psychology in lots of marriages, the wife always has something “better” than the man has and he’d better appreciate that she deemed him “worthy” of being married to her!(or else!)

Texas demographer: ‘It’s basically over for Anglos’”
Geeze, and RICK PERRY’s Amnesty can only help here...
*snort* - Well, yeah and the anchor babies don’t stay in school anyway, but that’s not how the gubmint thinks - you know this. All they want are the warm bodies.
I’m sure there are many, but the affluent white northerners are fleeing high taxes, crime and urban (and now suburban)decay of their own making.........
