Census shows US is diversifying, white population shrinking - AP

The U.S. became more diverse and more urban over the past decade, and the white population dropped for the first time on record, the Census Bureau said Thursday as it released a trove of demographic data that will be used to redraw the nation's political maps.

The share of the white population fell from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020, the lowest on record, though white people continue to be the most prevalent racial or ethnic group. However, that changed in California, where Hispanics became the largest racial or ethnic group, growing to 39.4% from 37.6% over the decade, while the share of white people dropped from 40.1% to 34.7%.

 

Just to be clear, white Hispanics are not counted as whites aka "non-Hispanic whites"

also, it might depend on the wording of the questions like "white alone" or "white in combination with another group".

• The White population remained the largest race or ethnicity group in the United States, with 204.3 million people identifying as White alone. Overall, 235.4 million people reported White alone or in combination with another group. However, the White alone population decreased by 8.6% since 2010.

 

Can you explain to me how one can both argue that "everyone is equal" and "systemic racism/racism, in general doesn't matter" but we still do these kinds of statistics and people pay attention to them?

 

I can't speak for those who make those arguments.

I can only speak for myself, and I am interested in the census results

 

I wasn't asking (or intending to ask) for you to speak for anyone else.

Would you mind sharing why this type of information is of interest to you?

 

I live in the US and I am interested to know about the trends in this country. I like information.

Like this little nugget: "The Multiracial population has changed considerably since 2010. It was measured at 9 million people in 2010 and is now 33.8 million people in 2020, a 276% increase."

276% increase in 10 years.....don't you find that interesting. Multiracial = Mixed race. I am not sure if that was a question in 2020 census, but it if was not, then it would explain such rapid increase. In 2020 people might have put down "white" even though they are quarter Navajo, but in 2020 they'll put down 'multiracial'. Know what I mean? Was such question added to make it look like non-white people are taking over? I don't know, but its interesting.

 

I don't base my opinions of others on their race so I don't find their racial make-up or degrees of various cultures all that interesting. I also don't know if I would agree there has been a significant jump in the ACTUAL number of multiracial versus, as you point out, a change in how they answer the question given the wording of the question posed and available choices.

There is still significant racism (and other forms of bigotry) in America so it's always been advantageous for people to identify as "white" versus any other available options on the questionnaires.

Same thing is happening in all [former] White European Christian nations. Evil cultural marxist controlled governments are intentionally destroying the racial, religious, moral, cultural foundations of what once was "White European Christendom" with hordes of third worlders.

THIS is the LAST world war. But this war is not being fought by conventional weapons of war, uniformed soldiers with guns and bombs. Our enemies are fighting and winning using covert asymmetric warfare = demographic/racial/biological weapons of mass destruction.

In former wars... while much infrastructure and many lives were destroyed... the genetic code of the nation was still intact and the nation was able to rebuild. But that won't happen this time around because the weapons of mass destruction are genetic... and genetic destruction of a nation is forever!

If you want to see what the future looks like, look at the demographics for the youngest age group.

(For example, those under 35, those under 18, children under the age of 5, new babies being born)


A much larger percentage of the total white population is above the age of 40 than other racial groups. The age group over 40 is unlikely to have any more children, and will eventually die off.

The reason for this is two-fold:
First non-white and immigrant groups statistically have higher fertility rates and more children, so consist of a younger demograpic.
Second, most of the immigrant population that comes consists of younger adults rather than older people.

 

In California, Hispanics already accounted for over half of the population of public school students, and that was 10 years ago.

(Keep in mind only about 6% of the students are enrolled in private schools)

(Also keep in mind this is a state with a total population greater than the entire country of Canada)

 

Exactly!

In 1950 Whites were 90% of the US population [Christians were 95% of the US population.]

The post-WW2 "baby-boomers" born between 1946 and 1964 [the youngest baby-boomers turn age 57 this year] will be the last vastly White generation..

Personally, I believe this is the generation that Jesus said would not all pass before all the prophecies are fulfilled.

One of those prophecies is in Daniel 12 that basically says at the end of the age the power of God's people will be totally broken. We are there! Daniel 12's parallel in the NT is Rev 12 which says the enemy of God''s people will make war against the remnant of her seed who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Enough with the KKK nonsense. Seems obvious most of those "hordes of 3rd worlders" aka Hispanics are Christians (more so than Americans) and white, but obviously not white enough for you. This war you you want to wage would be Christians fighting Christians.

Where in the Bible does it say you need to wage war against people who are not white enough and/or from a different denomination?

 

Getting back to the OP, it seems logical that the white population would decline. Hasn’t Asian and Hispanic populations grown more rapidly than white?

At the end of the day, why does it matter?

 

Yes, they have, and now it looks like more people identify themselves in "multiracial" category while they might have identified as white or black before. I find it hard to believe the multiracial category would increase 250+% unless people categorize themselves differently.

Depends on who you ask. Most probably don't care, while some others see it as a sign of the impending apocalypse.

In Florida, the chance that two random people would be from different races and ethnicity groups is now 64%

Also, "The data also shows the U.S. population growth slowed this decade and “only the 1930s had slower growth,” said Marc Perry, senior demographer for the U.S. Census Population Bureau."

 

Hispanic is ill-defined as a race, and we need something better than a hodge-podge of qualifiers. Spain is white. The Caribbean is populated with black Hispanics. Mexico with mixed race Spanish-Native. Argentina with white Italian-Hispanics. Brazil. Portuguese. White. Using Hispanic to denote race is wrong-headed, and evokes an image of the illegal immigrant.



They look pretty white to me.

 

CA thought this was going to give the Democrat Party a lock on CA politics that lasted forever, but funny thing, 52% of Hispanics favor recalling Newsom. If Hispanics are the key demographic that delivers the CA governorship to the GOP, we could see an abrupt sea change from CA Democrats on Open Borders.

 

Do you think, the change is for the better for America?

 

You have to be VERY politically incorrect to understand why is this matter and why the change is NOT for the better.

 

"White" is just a census bureau term and there is no official requirement (e.x. a DNA test) needed to "identify" as such.

People can electively identify as pretty much anything they want. So a better statistic - if anyone is bored enough to be concerned - would be what the percentage of "European-descended DNA" the average person has.

 

Only the Spanish Europeans were White. When Spain ruled Mexico they had a racial caste system to try to prevent miscegenation [race-mixing]. But when Mexico won its independence from Spain [1821], it trashed Spain's racial caste system [anyone can see the result.] When Anglo Texas won its independence from Mexico [1836], one the first things the Republic of Texas did was enact its own anti-miscegenation law... which existed until the USSC outlawed all state anti-miscegenation laws in 1967.

As for Christianity... Anglo Texas' Declaration of Independence plainly tells us the oppression of the Catholic Church was a major issue for Anglo Texans [who were mostly Protestant.]

It matters because demographics are a basic indicator of voting patterns, something that's been known since...forever.

 

For once, I agree with ChiCowboy. It's long been a pet peeve of mine that the term "Hispanic," which was invented in the 1970's has been used to create an artificial group among various real nationalities that really don't have much in common. Dominicans and Argentinians are not the same people with the same interests. It's as if we took people from the Ivory Coast, Quebec, and Martinique and put them under one moniker, like "Fransanics" and expected them to be the same people.

 

Hows California done in that 11 years?

 

I believe that there still be some places where white will still be a majority. Where I'm not really sure but there will still be places around here.

 

As I said, I don't think there is a 250+% increase in mixed race people, but rather it is a change in how people self-identify their race. Lot of Americans actually are mixed race, even if they look white. Is it a negative thing to be mixed race?
