Funny, I am constantly being scolded by white folks that by calling myself an African American that I am beind divisive. That being the case, why should "white people" be concerned about their birth or death rate seeing how we are all just Americans.

Great point. I mean, I thought they didn't care about race?
So true. Latinos tend to report themselves as being substantially "whiter" than they actually are. Definitely the case with mestizos.
Happens in Puerto Rico as well. Most "white" Puerto Ricans have features similar to Daddy Yankee, and he is definitely of mixed race. Contrast that with the current governor.
Daddy Yankee----
Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla-----
People like Padilla are probably no more than 10% of the population of the island, but Puerto Rico self reports 64% white ancestry. Clearly, as in all of Latin America, latinos tend to overemphasize their white ancestry when it's not warranted. It doesn't seem that way too much when they make it state-side.
The more educated one is, the less likely one is to have a lot of kids, and by and large, whites are still the most highly educated group in this country. Conversely, the less educated one is, the more likely one is to have a gaggle of kids. Look at poor whites in the South.
And I'm sure this is going to sound really, really un-PC, but so be it. It's the truth. It has more to do with education than race. If other groups were as highly educated, on the whole, as whites, they wouldn't be having as many kids, either.
Agreed.
Word is educated Black ladies have even less kids per women than educated anglo white ladies. Japan's doesn't make enough babies to replace the old people dying and Japan ain't "white" either.
How are we supposed to fund our government programs without young people working to fund them?
I also like the energy that youth brings to a society. I grew up in southwest Florida where the median age is like 60 years old. Just going to a restaurant will make you feel like the world is ending because there is nothing young around. Immigrants will make sure our whole country doesn't become like this.
Legal aliens are Ok and we'd be better off with ones from English speaking countries regardless of race.
