Report: Minorities in US Will Outnumber Whites in 30 Years
According to a new report, in roughly 30 years, the United
States of America will be the world's first major post-industrial
society to see its population tip from majority white to minority ethnic
groups comprising the majority of the population, largely due to the
influx of Hispanic immigrants.
An Associated Press demographics study found that white
Americans, who currently comprise 63% of the U.S. population, are
projected to peak at 200 million people in 2024 and drop below 50% of
the country's population by 2043.
Since the Immigration Reform Act of 1965, about 650,000 immigrants a
year have come from Latin America and Asia, which surpasses the influx
of European immigrants from 1820-1920.
Look on the bright
side - maybe whitey can finally be considered for minority group status
and we can gain access to college scholarships and "equal" employment opportunity that we are currently being denied.
