    If you look at the demographic distribution, by age, at the current rate the U.S. is becoming about 12% less white every 14 years.

    That's about double the difference between each age bracket, as the oldest age group dies off and a new one comes into existence.


    As an example, this was the age distribution in 2010:

    As you can see, the difference in percentage of whites over each 14-year age bracket is roughly about 6% on average.


    Based on the fact that the current non-Hispanic white percentage of the entire population is 62% right now, that means it will just be another 14 or 15 years before it dips below the 50% mark.

    Already it has gone below 50% for new babies being born.
    Babies of color are now the majority, 2016 Census says

    Exactly, about half the population doesn't care, or are even celebrating.

    It is interesting though, if we look at a map some of the most liberal parts of the country are also the whitest parts. Portland, Seattle, Vermont, even the Bay Area.

    There is a problem with how the US government defines white in official statistics. It does not recognize white Hispanics as a white ethnic group. 53% of Hispanics also self-identify as white and both Hispanic white and non-Hispanic white should be listed by the US Census Bureau to be more accurate. Genetic research by (Bryc et al. 2014) has found that the average European admixture among self-identified Hispanic White Americans is 73%, while the average European admixture for Hispanic Americans overall is 65.1%.

    David Reich is a co-author of this study and I made a thread about this population geneticist.

    I think this is due of the 'one-drop' rule. Because Hispanics has too much of 'other' in them, by racial standards in this country, statisticians can't help but parse them away from the 'pure white' group.

    all that matters is that people have the right values, their skin color is irrelevent

    If you believe the only difference between different parts of the world is skin color.

    I'm still waiting to see a prosperous African country, or a prosperous country in the Middle East that respects human rights (and I'm not talking about low-population ones who's economy is fueled all by oil money, coming from other parts of the world that actually are successful).

    wait, so now you're moving the goalposts from "prosperous country" to "prosperous country that respects human rights".

    I thought the Conservative meme was that race is irrelevent, its culture that matters.

    You appear to now be suggesting that culture and race are irrevecably intertwined.

    and the science doesn't support such a concept

    Yes, whites in America will eventually be almost extinct. All the guns will be called in and the national language will be Mexican and Indian with 10 people living in one room.

    No Ronny, again totally wrong. Nationalities are not fungible. We have American values and they have their values.

    What makes you think that? We may not fully understand the connection that exists between overall culture that exists in a society and genetics in the gene pool.

    Take a look at Northeast Asian countries for example, the rules and cultural expectations in their societies tend to be very strict. Now it's just the opposite in Latin American countries. I talked to a young Mexican (who had grown up in Mexico) and he told me he felt a little bit uncomfortable in America at times because there were many things he could do in Mexico that he couldn't do in America. In Mexico for the most part they don't care.

    Or take a look in South Africa. The rape rates are off the charts. In one anonymous survey 1 out of 6 men admitted to raping somebody. But by the same token, rape isn't seen as all that terrible of an offense and many times the rapists only get sentenced to 3 or 4 years. (article here )

    tens of millions of non-Americans with non-American values have moved to the USA and adopted American values.

    or their children surely have.

    values are always fluid and not irrevocably intertwined with one's phenotype

    the idea that race and values are connected and cannot be changed, is racism

    That's just a little bit of a blanket oversimplification, wouldn't you say?
    There are many areas you can go to today that look halfway like you're in a Third World country, sometimes where English isn't even the main language.

    There have been a few news articles about Eygptian and Saudi immigrant families in California discovered keeping child slaves in their suburban homes, to do the cleaning and laundry. They were treated like animals and made to sleep in the laundry room. Apparently that's a normal thing in the countries they came from.
    Plenty of anecdotal stories of date rape due to "cultural misunderstandings" too. (She was asking for it because she went out with a man alone)

    Anyway, if you look over in Europe where they've experienced much higher levels of migration (as a percent of their population) they're dealing with some real integration problems.

    Nigeria is a prosperous African country. There are many others that are rich in natural resources, but their wealth is being stolen from them.
    Democratic Republic of Congo, for instance, is where coltan is harvested from. This is the material that goes into all our cell phones, tablets and computers. I'm sure this industry brings in many millions of dollars a year. But do the citizens of this country benefit from their natural resource? No.
    Multiply that scenario many times over and you will see why African countries are so poor.

    I would agree with you, but I'm afraid that the tribal nature of human is too strong, especially when there is large physical differences, and especially considering the relationship american have with races, it can only create divisions in the society, and lead to bad things.

    For an african country, and let remember that Boko Haram abducted hundred of young christian girls to enslave them. Apparently corruption is a huge problem in Nigeria.

    Yes, but some countries with no huge natural ressources managed to develop, Taiwan, South Korea, China, Singapour. China developped a lot when India didn't. Why ? They're similar in a lot of aspects. China was poorer than some african countries in the 70. In Mali, recently, an albinos man was murdered because of a witchcraft case. That kind of things can explain why African countries are poor too. By the way, a single murder don't explain poverty, but that kind of cases tell a lot of the troubles in african mentality.

    Is it the African mentality that holds them back, or is it the greed of the multi-national corporations that systematically drain their wealth decade after decade?
    The countries with few natural resources to steal probably don't attract as much attention. So they are safer from the profiteers.
    It is Africa's curse that they are the richest natural resource continent in the world. It should be a blessing, but it's not; it's a curse to them. Because the people who steal their resources also usually mistreat them.

    The curse is both.

    Multi national corporations intend to destroy everything as long they get some profit, they're not racist, they just donc of human life as long they get money.

    Africa has a complicated history, furthermore don't forget that they're is corrupters but, there is always their pair, the corrupted.

    During the atlantic slave trade, almost no slaves were captured by the euros, they were sold by locals. A good example is the king of Dahomey, who was one of the richest individual of his time, how did he get money ? By solding slaves to the euros.

    It's kind the same thing who is happening today. There is multinational plundering Africa, but there is people solding Africa to them, and furthermore, there is other problems (African mentality, violence)... There is still a lot of witchcraft in Africa. You can't do witchcraft and hope to develop. However things are changing slowly, and probably for the better for Africa.

    I laughed recently, I heard big multinational complaining that China were stealing their technologies, and Chinese understood everything : big companies came to have the cheapest workforce possible, they leave to chinese their new technologies, and chinese didn't intented to stay forever their slaves, so they took their technologies as they were making Iphones. Apprently, the big multinational didn't liked that, too bad for them.

    Typical left wing extremist whining as if race is everything.

    People of all races want freedom and independence. That's why most come to the USA.
