White people set to become minority in US by 2050 - 13 years before Britain

White Americans will become a minority group in the US for the first time in the country's history by 2050, according to fresh projections from the US Census Bureau.

The data reveals a dramatic transformation in the nation's ethnic composition over seven decades - just 40 years ago, around 80 per cent of all Americans were white.


Declining birth rates among white Americans are also accelerating the shift.

The changes are expected to reach their peak impact between 2040 and 2050.

They represent one of the most rapid population shifts in the US since the first European settlement was established more than 400 years ago.

That is the number one thing the Supreme Court has been working to ensure does not lead to the US becoming a Minority Majority run country and they are willing to sacrifice the US Constitution and the country, if need be, to try and stop it.

Citizens United (endless corporate money in elections), plus all this radical gerrymandering is #1 reason for the US decent into a divided country tipping back towards civil war but what the Republican old guard recognized was that the best path forward for a new age of Republican rule, was to widen the tent, bring in black voters (mostly religious) and Latino's (also religious but also immigration concerns) and then start pushing some of them to leadership, drawing across Independent and Moderate/Right Dems who would shift.

For the hard core racist right that 'compromise' (supporting Tim Scott as POTUS, etc) is intolerable. Allowing the GOP to become a party ruled by PoC would be something they would never really escape due to demographic shift.

So instead they took what they knew and described as the nuclear option, known as the Southern Strategy. A strategy considered by prior GOP but considered too dangerous in the belief if they failed they would leave the country torn apart. But the SC has been paving that road and re-writing law and the Constitution to support it.

It is not hyperbole to say simply ruling that 'one man, one vote' would mean Politicians cannot pick their voters and thus non partisan voting commissions were Constitutional and needed would see the vast majority of todays polarization go away because for 9(% of the politicians to win primaries they would have to appeal the centrist voters and not the extreme. They would have use 'compromise and unite' language and not 'separate and fight'.

It is my view, this SC will go down in history as the biggest agent who tried to destroy the Constitutional order of the US in an attempt to keep America from being a majority, minority ruled country.

White people will continue to be the single largest ethnic group in the nation for decades to come.

The only way whites will become a "minority" is when they drop below 50% of the population when compared to all the non-white ethnicities put together.

If whites comprise 49% of the populace, with Hispanics at 24%, blacks at 16% and all others making up the rest, whites will still be the largest single group.

White h8ers shouldn't start rubbing their hands together with glee just yet.

And reporting on demographics isn't white hating, No one group will be majority

Depending upon one's reason for reporting it, it might not be that different from some MAGA types reporting on black violence.

Also, the word majority has more than one usage.

It can refer to anything over 50% or it can refer to the largest single group within a larger group....


....so in that sense, whites will continue to be the majority group in the US for a long time.

That is a much nicer picture than the White House is now. Trump has trashed it bigly. I never thought the WH would ever look so bad. It reflects Trump's burnt and twisted soul.

The growing minority will continue to impact our culture and future.

It's 2050 now? Wow, back in the early 1990's the NYT had an article predicting 2040. So there's a 10 year reprieve before certain people go nuts.

Ever since then, a LOT of folk just ain't been right. This latest little ditty will REALLY set off white nationalist and such rabble on both sides of "the pond".

As the old Chinese curse goes, we are living in interesting times.
