Whites Projected To Lose Majority In 2042

(AP)  White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, according to new government projections. That's eight years sooner than previous estimates, made in 2004.

The United States has been growing more diverse for decades, but the process has sped up through immigration and higher birth rates among minority residents, especially Hispanics.

It is also growing older.

"The white population is older and very much centered around the aging baby boomers who are well past their high fertility years," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "The future of America is epitomized by the young people today. They are basically the melting pot we are going to see in the future."

The Census Bureau Thursday released population projections through 2050, based on rates for births, deaths and immigration. They are subject to big revisions, depending on immigration policy, cultural changes and natural or manmade disasters.

The U.S. has nearly 305 million people today. The population is projected to hit 400 million in 2039 and 439 million in 2050.

That's like adding all the people from France and Britain, said Steve A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington group that advocates tighter immigration policies.

White non-Hispanics make up about two-thirds of the population, but only 55 percent of those younger than 5.

By 2050, whites will make up 46 percent of the population and blacks will make up 15 percent, a relatively small increase from today. Hispanics, who make up about 15 percent of the population today, will account for 30 percent in 2050, according to the new projections.

Asians, which make up about 5 percent of the population, are projected to increase to 9 percent by 2050.

The population 85 and older is projected to more than triple by 2050, to 19 million.

What is it about BIRTH CONTROL that minorities don''''t understand?

Poor people bringing more poor people into the world. Don''''t we have more than enough poor people? There is no shortage of them. Getting deeper into poverty. Can''''t they find something else to do at night besides getting their ignorant barefoot wives pregnant?

The Third World is invading the USA. People from two-bit banana republics. White people aren''''t having kids at the rate of minorities. Especially Hispanics. You''''d think they just discovered s e x the way they''''re popping out the babies like there is no tomorrow. God forbid they use a condom or birth control. The world might stop turning.

WORLD''''S POPULATION GROWS BY ABOUT 80 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR.

White majority in the USA will end in another 5 years the way republiCON politicians have opened the borders and are driving in illegal aliens for cheap labor!

A lot of whites can''t and won''t bother to have families they can''t take care of! Maybe that''s something GOP politicians should think about before they encourage all the illegal aliens to pack into America!

Now, that it''s election time they''re trying to pretend they''re for putting up a fence along the border and controlling the flow, but they weren''t in favor of it for 7 1/2 years! ONLY NOW that it''s election time!

Uh-HUH! can you say ''@$$holes''!
