Ok so after seeing US Census 2010 it is very clear thet white non hispanic population is shrinking... (well it isnt but its not growing as fast as latino or asian population). Does that fact worry you? How do you think it will shape the future for America? Will it become more liberal and open minded because of immigration or more conservative as most latinos are usually christian?
In many large cities non hispanic whites are already a minority eg; Houston is only 26% white non hispanic (although suburbs tend to be mostly white/ asian)
Los Angeles is 28% non hispanic white, Chicago 31% and Las Vegas 48% non hispanic white.
Do you see this as a good thing? do you mind it? Or maybe it is something that you would rather stop?
And this is not meant to be a racist thread or anything like that, I dont mind what race my neighbor would be as long as they were respectful.

so, you have a problem with people that aren't respectful? where are we suppose to live, huh?
Not for me. I'm already a Minorty(Black), so I'd imagine my life wouldn't anymore diffirent than it is now. I could understand why it'd concern White people, since White has been the majority almost since the inception of this country.
I'm white and somewhat worried about it. Certain Latino groups have brought nothing but problems to certain inner cities in the Northeast. Many cities such as Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Providence, Worcester, Springfield, etc., used to have lower crime rates, reasonable cleanliness and better school systems. That was 30 years ago, when these cities were mostly white. Now, these states have passed extremely liberal welfare laws, which as attracted Puerto Ricans to move to those cities. And what came along with it was crime, worsened school systems, and now these cities look like they're from a third world country in some areas. It's sad. I don't blame the Puerto Ricans though. I blame the politicians who passed extremely generous welfare policies. Even when you look at cities that are majority white population, the crime rate is considerably lower, there's less litter and trash on the streets, and the houses are in better shape. So, I believe there are cultural differences. With that said, there are some Puerto Ricans here that lead professional lives and contribute to society instead of leeching. They don't even want to associate with the inner city ones. It's kind of like myself....as a gay man...not wanting to associate with the gays that you see in gay pride parades, dressed like women and doing crazy dances.
The most advanced societies of the world have been built by white or Asian people. When you look at societies built by Latino or black people, they are just way behind the times and have much more corruption and crime. It's true.

Reason: off topic
Don't forget the Asian population is growing at an even faster rate than the Hispanic population.
