Those stats are highly suspicious. As some have stated, the definition of "whiteness" is not static, it has always grown in the sense that groups that were once not considered part of mainstream American culture (Italians, Slavs, Jews, and even many Arabs) are now firmly part of the "white" mainstream. The same will happen to huge numbers of Asians and Hispanics as they assimilate and intermarry. I even think more and more mixed-race (black-white) people will no longer see themselves as simply "black" as in the past. They'll tend to gravitate to white communities more and more as whites become less racist. The end result is that as in the past, the term "white" will expand and the Democrats attempt at dividing and conquering through racial separation will fail and they'll have to just sell socialism and not racialism.
What I want to know is who is going to take care of all those babies? This is why all the minority communities are messed up. They have no means for supporting these children but keep having them. And the cycle of poverty continues.
That doesn't make any sense. It's only since 2007 that the internet has been readily accessible on cell phones, and 2010 that cellular internet use became the norm.
Crimes rates have been going down long before that.
We've been incarcerating people for minor crimes since the 70's and crime spiked during the 80's and early 90's. All that does is cost tax payers more money.
I don't think it's the internet per say that caused crime to go down. I think it's a cultural change influenced a lot by the dramatic increase in indoor entertainment options for youth that started in the 80's. It's obviously not without its downsides.
Yeah crime started to decline in 1991/92 which is several years before the Internet became well known. I see it as just being a return to normal crime rates after the very violent 70s, 80s and early 90s. I don't think you can attribute it to a single factor, even if we didn't get "tough on crime" I still think it would have declined considerably.

Trust me. Being a minority isn't that bad. It's only bad if the majority race decides to treat the minorities unfairly.
I don't think Latinos plan to rise up and harass Whites through political and institutional systems.

I am white and live in the United States and this prospect does not bother me one bit.
Of coarse I am married to an Asian, so my children are mixed. Come to think of it, Great, Great, Granddad married a Native American so I suppose that I may be mixed.

I don't think it will evolve to this degree due to social aspects/realities that are still with us. I don't see people of color being able to be socially viewed as "White", but you may see more people of color within the mainstream in terms of obtaining a higher standard of living. I also don't think politics has anything to do with it, but socio-historical aspects are what they are in this country.
But what race our Latinos, are they people from Latin america ?
I know their is a lot of white people in Latin America ?
Basically, yes. Though Latin America itself is made of multicultural countries but are generally now considered to be their own cultures.
They're sort of similar to the US, but much more influenced by Spanish and indigenous cultures.
