Minority babies almost the majority in the U.S

[JohnK]

White infants are on the verge of being displaced as the majority of newborns now that nearly half of babies in the USA are ethnic and racial minorities.

Only 50.2% of babies under age 1 are white and not Hispanic, according to the 2010 Census — a sharp decline from 57.6% just 10 years earlier."We are almost at a minority-majority infant population," says Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, who analyzed the latest Census data. "We probably have passed it since the Census was taken" in April 2010.

"Minority" will have a different meaning very soon in the U.S. Thoughts?

Let me start practicing Spanish. Hola, como esta?

But yeah, I don't really care about it, part of life. Hispanic people aren't bad...just the poor ones, they're hicks.

Er, I've met some very nice Hispanic people who aren't rich...so stop stereotyping them.

 

Interesting, Minority babies will overtake the Majority.

That's very rude, I know a lot of Hispanic people that are genuinely nice and are very sweet.

It's quite sad really.
Yes I know there's nice minorities, but where I live, the majority of younger minorities are douchebags.

you're not understanding the term "Minority"
it's not a term used for literal meaning, it's a term used out of ignorance.

even though the majority of the USA isn't white anymore, the darker skinned people will still be called minorities just because.

I think it's a little nice that variety will be a bit more.

"Hicks" are-- stereotypically-- backwood white people who drive beat-up pickup tricks and live in trailer homes. Also, it's "estas" unless you're talking to someone formally who's influential or superior. Lastly, not all Mexicans who come to the USA are poor.

Anyway, it's just the bi-product of having a country that's so open to legal immigration, and so vulnerable to illegal immigration. I think it'd be a good thing for us, since a lot of Americans are culturally insensitive.

@NiGinCharge: "Minority" means non-white or non-American. Hispanic, black, Asian; these are all minority groups.

I agree with mohtasa hicks are mainly thought of as rednecks
