Census shows US growth driven by minorities; white pop falls under 60 percent

[Nero Germanicus]

The growth in the American population over the last decade was driven entirely by minority communities, according to new data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, as the number of white Americans declined for the first time since the nation's founding.

Non-Hispanic whites make up just under 58 percent of the American population, the first time since the Census was first conducted that they have fallen under the 60 percent mark. By contrast, the 2000 Census showed non-Hispanic whites made up just over 69 percent of the population, and 63.7 percent in 2010.

Hispanic or Latino Americans have grown steadily to 62.1 million, or 18.7 percent of the population, up from 12.6 percent in 2000 and 16.4 percent in the 2010 count. Asian Americans grew faster than any other minority group in the last decade, to 24 million, up about 20 percent since 2010.

Counties with populations under 50,000 all lost population on average, according to the Census data. Counties with populations over 100,000 gained 9.1 percent, as more Americans flocked to metropolitan areas and their nearby suburbs.

Overall, 86.3 percent of Americans live in a metropolitan area, a city and its surroundings with populations greater than 50,000, up 2 percentage points since the 2000 survey. The share of Americans who live in rural areas that are not part of metropolitan areas dropped by 2.8 percentage points.

Demographics do not lie. Read Mark Steyn’s AFTER AMERICA. Anyone could have seen this coming.

Wow! We better get some Hispanics and blacks on our side more then what we have or we are toast politically.

This is why I’m very skeptical off the ‘stolen election’ meme. We’re at a point where it’s nearly impossible for Republicans can win and that trend is accelerating faster than anyone can imagine.

[brownsfan]

The white population is MUCH less than 60%. Nearly half of the white population hates the white population and will be racist toward white people.

Those self loathing whites don’t count as white to me.

[Signalman]

We’re at a point where it’s nearly impossible for Republicans can win and that trend is accelerating faster than anyone can imagine.

Which is why The Marxists currently running the country allowed 1M illegals (from central America, Africa etc.) to enter the country in the past 6 months.

Clearly you are not thinking critically.

[central_va]

They come to us and NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

[Catfan15]

A healthy dose of skepticism, to me, is thinking critically. I’ve seen a lot of talk and hand waiving, but no proof of it being stolen. Not even charts like those, which basically just say what was known, the mail-in results would come in late.

The demographic shift is unstoppable at this point. It’s just how things are now.

Demographic replacement - by aggrieved minorities.

We are where California was in 1990 -1995 time frame on the demographic replacement path.

End of the 1990s was when California went into it's current death spiral

Hip Hip Hooray!

Time for those who parrot the Marxist mantra of ‘race doesn’t matter!...except when it does.

Thank you for referencing that article Nero Germanicus. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Given census was another controversial issue, why should we believe census statistics any more than CV19 statistics or results of 2020 elections?

Insights welcome.

[Antoninus]

These kinds of stats are nonsense. If you tell most Hispanics that they are "not white," they'll look at you like you're crazy. The only way they can arrive at stats like this is by counting Hispanics as a separate racial group when in reality, they are about as separate as Americans of Italian, Greek, or other Mediterranean heritage.

What do you call an American of Hispanic heritage whose parents were born here and who doesn't speak Spanish? Answer? An American. They are only functionally hispanic on census forms and scholarship applications.

[Little Ray]

And why they are moving the invading barbarians to Red states.

[1Old Pro]

We better get some Hispanics and blacks on our side more then what we have or we are toast politically.

Hispanics will take advantage of opportunities and advance economically thus will tend not to vote in a group like Blacks.

[CatOwner]

They come to us and NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Why would they? People are being punished for being conservative, or even posting online anything that isn't part of the leftists' agenda. Even those who are in the middle of the various hornet's nests, like black Americans still wanting help from the police, are sacred shitless that their neighbors will either snitch on them or just kill them.

[Skywise]

Yeah - and it shows

[Catfan15]

Clear as day, except for those in severe denial.

[SmokingJoe]

The white population is MUCH less than 60%.

Wrong!
Whites make up more than 60% of the population if you include Hispanics.
Why on earth do these cretins keep babbling about “non Hispanic whites”?
Tens of millions of Hispanics like Ted Cruz, Rubio etc ARE whites.

Nearly half of the white population hates the white population and will be racist toward white people.

Wrong again.
Political affiliation is not equal to race.
Not to mention most whites vote Republican.
What more you got?

[Chode]

but replacement is just a conspiracy theory... right?
