That doesn't mean all minorities think the way you do. Why do you feel you could never vote Republican? I think most of us vote both ways regardless of how loyal we are to our party.
Lets say white are 5%, so now what? You think you are going to be able to still raid the treasury, grow the deficit and still have a country left?
It's not as if anyone wins if Democrats stay in power more often. They are not known for any fiscal restraint as we see now, they are crying like little biaches over a 66 billion cut in a nearly 3 trillion dollar budget.
Get real.
If we confiscated all the wealthy people's money this year we'd still have had a trillion dollar deficit, so the hammer is coming down despite any wet dreams any have out there regarding a white minority.
The numbers do appear stark. The Census tells us that 16 percent of U.S. residents are Hispanic, up from 13 percent in 2000 and 9 percent in 1990, and that 5 percent are Asian, up from 4 percent in 2000. The percentage of blacks held steady at 13. Among children, the voters of tomorrow, those percentages are higher.
But it's a mistake to see blacks, Hispanics and Asians as a single "people of color" voting bloc. The 2010 exit poll shows that the Republican percentages in the vote for the U.S. House were 60 percent among whites, 9 percent among blacks, 38 percent among Hispanics and 40 percent among Asians.
If the GOP keeps alienating the Hispanics and Blacks they will suffer down the road. The GOP is a dying party for sure. More and more people will leave as the party gets more and more extreme.

Because the first time I voted I voted for FN Ronald Reagan and it was the worst vote I ever caste. In my youth, and my naivety, I paid the price for eight long years of my 20's.
Don't mistaken me as a loyal democrat. Just because I'd sit out an election I'd ever vote RebubiKan, doesn't mean I'd vote Democrat. I find most politicians to be more like the street hoes. The more I age the more I find politicians revolting, regardless of what color their tie, or their bow.
But I do agree that unless the African American and Hispanic communities attain the standard level of education and entrepreneurialism that White America has traditionally upheld, it will be hard for America to maintain the same high standards it has had if Whites become a minority.
Not true! South Africa and Zimbabwe have become economic superpowers of science and technology after the White minority ceded control.
South Africa and Zimbabwe are great examples of how a successful a country can become after a small, sizable, White minority cedes control of a pre-built economy and living standard.

It will be interesting to see how the feelings towards country changes in whites as they become the minority. If you don't feel as being part of a group, you tend to isolate yourself from the whole.
Will whites become the new immigrant type group, keeping to themselves in mostly white neighborhoods, not "assimilating" to the whole nation? Will they continue to work as hard and pay as much in taxes to support the statistically majority minority groups or will they slack off? How will this affect the goverment revenue and what it can fund?
Will whites then be the beneficiary of Affirmative Action?
Will whites become the coveted minority group to help determine election outcomes?
As a white male who leans conservative, let me ask this...
Who the hell cares about race? An article like this one don't do much to make racism into the non-issue it should be, does it?
Racism will always be an issue when it is so thick that even China can call the U.S. on it.
