The reason I ask is based on the current rate of of the growth of the biracial population in the United States and the current rate of interracial marriage I'm not so sure that you going to see 75% of the population being biracial. I do expect to see a significant increase on the population of biracial Americans, however.
Well, most Hispanics are already biracial. That population alone is expected to be a big chunk of the popul by 2040 alone. I don't think that it would be such a stretch that a growing minority youth popul and a shrinking white youth popul that the end result could be 75%, unless they start manufacturing some white AIs to breed with the shrinking white popul.

Sorry but you numbers don't just make sense and I don't see any research or empirical evidence to back up your assertion. I'd be willing to think that by 2100 maybe 40% of the U.S population is going to be bi-racial but the numbers as they currently stand with the current population growth races of the Hispanic and biracial population just don't come out to 75%.

Who really gives a @*#! about something that will take place 100 years from now? We"ll all be dead by then.

It will be interesting. With this proportion of mixed races, the Democrat party will have a hard time advancing their divisive special-interest politics and their affirmative action policies.

What will be more interesting is when the Republican Party realizes that pandering to older White voters will no longer win them presidential elections.

The Dem party will have to evolve, as will the Repug party. Already here in So Texas, there is a huge number of local mexican-american repug candidates running for office I doubt that they'll win, but at least they're trying. It is no longer a "whites only" party, except for the statewide offices.

What curious to me is that why don't Hispanic Republican candidates do better in statewide elections like the current Republican race for U.S. Senator?

Hispanic and non-Hispanic white couples are so commonplace in California that nobody makes a big deal about it. It's considered the norm already. Not just among the young but among the middle aged (like yours truly)

Asian/white couples are also thoroughly accepted and common, although Asian male/white female couples are still relatively rare.
