Minority babies set to become majority in 2010

WASHINGTON - Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years.

In fact, demographers say this year could be the “tipping point” when the number of babies born to minorities outnumbers that of babies born to whites.

The numbers are growing because immigration to the U.S. has boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.

Minorities made up 48 percent of U.S. children born in 2008, the latest census estimates available, compared to 37 percent in 1990.

“Census projections suggest America may become a minority-majority country by the middle of the century. For America’s children, the future is now,” said Kenneth Johnson, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire who researched many of the racial trends in a paper being released Wednesday.

I just have to ask, at what point in time do they drop the term minority from their description?

When do WE, the WHITE Americans, demand the rights that ILLEGALS have been given and how do we go about becoming at least an EQUAL race in America?

The numbers are growing because immigration to the U.S. has boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.

I am going to offend some folks with this one, but here’s the truth, they breed like cock roaches, and we keep right on letting the ILLEGALS in and allowing them to stock America up with an endless supply of anchor babies.

And the number of white women of prime childbearing age is on the decline, dropping 19 percent from 1990.

For example:

  • In Gwinnett County, Ga., an Atlanta suburb, the population has shifted from 16 percent minority in 1990 to 58 percent minority in 2008. The number of blacks and Hispanics nearly doubled, while the number of white young people stayed roughly the same.
  • The population of Dakota County, Neb., increased from 15 percent minority in 1990 to 54 percent in 2008, due largely to an influx of Hispanics who came looking for work in meatpacking and other labor.
  • In Lake County, Ind., a suburb of Chicago, the minority population grew from 43 percent in 1990 to 53 percent in 2008 as the number of white children declined, the number of blacks stayed stable and the number of Hispanics increased.
  • The 2008 census estimates used local records of births and deaths, tax records of people moving within the U.S., and census statistics on immigrants. The figures for “white” refer to those whites who are not of Hispanic ethnicity.

So, let me get this straight, I want to fully understand this, they have become the majority but they are still called the minority?

How can you be a minority if you’re a majority? Are they simply using overall demographics to describe these people or are they really a minority? I don’t see how you can be both if regional statistics are taken into consideration.
