Yeah,I see China,Russia,India doing better in the future and America..
Falling behind.We have become too P.C. to deal with serious problems.
We let politics get in the way instead of common sense.
We are losing low-skill jobs yet letting millions of Illegals flow in..
And Illegals are fueling the population increase.
What does any of this have to do with America becoming a non-White country?
Put demographics aside for a moment. the biggest problem the U.S. will face in the next thirty-forty years is the insane population growth. Even if the death and birth rate remain stagnant our country is flooded with legal and illegal immigrants. According to the Census bureau we'll have about 400 million people living here by 2050. More than 50 % higher than in 1990!!! And the dipspits we have in Congress want to "Just let everyone in". We cannot sustain the numbers of people moving here. Crime will and has escalated even in rural and semi-rural areas, water shortages will be the norm, public parks + highways will be choked full of traffic with people going nowhere and getting frustrated. If you think going to the DMV sucks now just wait!
I agree, the population growth that is about to hit us will be tragic.
Unfortunately, neither the Republicans nor the Democrats could be bothered to give a damn about any of this.
Well if you would just go live over there then maybe they can be diverse!!!!
you've got a point there. i don't think the poverty stricken immigrants that the US attracts would be interested in going to a country where they would make either the same or less $. that's why you never see any from those countries emigrate there. those countries probably also enforce their immigration laws unlike the US.
In the year 2040, most of America will have all the charms of Southcentral Los Angeles!
(I am saying this in jest but all one has to do is spend some time on the LA board and you can see what many posters think about the current state of the City)

OldTex it has eveything to do with it..
Lower Birthrates among whites & high birthrates from the Immigrant population.
Blacks are only predicted to increase by about 2% by 2042.

Are you implying that it is important for White Americans to hold on to their majority status?
In the future America (provided that the country holds itself together) there will be no dominant ethnic, racial, linguistic, or cultural group like there was in the past. It will no longer be meaningful to talk about American culture or the American way of life. Such will not exist.
It is a futile exercise to hold on to the past in this country.
Good point, Tex. It's always been my belief that the America of 2042 will be the America that the people of THAT TIME are used to. It will not resemble the America of 2008, but then again the America of 2008 doesn't resemble the America of 1935, either....and would we really WANT it to?
Would I be happy in the America of (for example) 2090?....probably not....but I won't be there. And the people who ARE 'there' will never know what they're missing.
BTW, I'm married interracially, and have interracial kids and grandkids...so for me, this is mostly academic. I admit I see a 'downward spiral' in the future. I do think things will probably become rougher, tougher, harsher, and far less free. But I attribute most of that to our INSANE love affair with multiculturalism, our inability to work together, and a VERY serious decline in "American" culture, ethics, standards, and morals.
I could be wrong..there MAY be a turnaround. But the decline I see looks very real to me....and race has very little to do with it.

But, as I said, I won't be here anyway.
Don't be so sure, Mac.
Maybe some multiracial researcher will come up with a full-body transplant, and you and I can go on doing triathlons well into our hundred-and-teens!
