U.S. to Become a Nation of “Majority Minorities”

A recent report by the Wall Street Journal reveals that non-white births accounted for 48.6% of all births in the United States between July 2008 and July 2009. Not just in California, New York or even Texas, but the entire United States. If this continues, nonwhite births will grow beyond 50% in a very short time — and possibly as early as next year. Expect a multi-racial future with some immediate conflict ahead: “The median age of the white population is older than that of nonwhites, and thus a larger share of minority women are in prime child-bearing years. In addition, white women are having fewer children than nonwhites, while the growth in mixed marriages has led to more multiracial births.”
