Fun with demographics!
Whites to become minority in US by 2050, according to Yahoo:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Non-Hispanic whites will become a minority in the United States by 2050, with immigrants and their children driving 82 percent of U.S. population growth in coming years, a new study said on Monday.
ADVERTISEMENTThe U.S. population will grow to 438 million in 2050 from 296 million in 2005 if current population trends continue, the Pew Research Center study found.
Non-Hispanic whites would account for 47 percent of the total in 2050, it concluded.
By that time, one in every five Americans will be a foreign-born immigrant, compared to one in eight in 2005.
This might seem rather scary to a lot of people, and that’s understandable. If you think about it, 128 million is a lot of Latino people. However, I don’t think this is going to be a huge concern for pale-faced Americans - the people that are really going to experience some trouble with this trend will be the flat-lining 13% African American population, many of whom are already competing with the immigrant influx for jobs, housing, and political pull. If this study is even remotely accurate, we’re not going to care about Jesse Jackson or his progeny any more than we care about Native American activists in 50 years.
(Ponders a world without Jesse Jackson for a second…)
I am hereby expressing my complete and unadulterated support for the opening of our borders and the mass immigration of Latino people! Viva Mexico!
