News organization after news organization reported recently that minority births now surpass white births or that white births are less than white deaths. Among others, see "Census: Minorities Now Surpass Whites in Births", Hope Yen, Associated Press, 2013-05-17
Duh! Given our attitude of "one drop" and of nationality what would you expect?
More and more couples are "mixed": "blacks" marry "whites", "whites" marry "Asians", "Native Americans" marry "whites", and so on. Fewer people are concerned about racial "purity" than ever before in U.S. history. And what are the offspring of "white"-"whatever" couples called in our society? It ain't "white".
Sometimes people self-select the non-white designation; sometimes others make the designation for them. For the first case, look at all the tribes that will allow a person to enroll if only one grandparent was "Indian". For the second case, look at all the people that too many designate as "black" because one grandparent was "black", or even one ancestor was "black" many generations ago!
Not all of my parents' descendants are "white". Boy, would my father's mother be horrified! Three lines have married "Asians" and another may marry a "black". As far as many of my generation and after are concerned, all of these "non-whites" are most welcome into our family.
Sorry, white supremacists, we will all be "brown" some century from now.
