Just got the news today. Non-whites are now 51% in Texas & California. Whites are also minorities in Hawaii and New Mexico. This comes from the 2005 Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, results just released today.

I am an umpteenth generation WASP. I live in SE Michigan where there is the greatest concentration of Muslims outside the Middle East. I am more concerned with the agenda of Muslim terrorists than what a person's ethnic makeup or religion is. Perhaps if I were from an ethnic minority, I would feel differently.

That sux. This country has no identity. I am not white, however I did not come to this country with the intention to have the 'American Dream' or feed my kids and help my family. I came here because dad's job relocated him here 3 yrs ago. So i am legal and everything but it really bothers me that this country has no identity. It seems like there was a time where they let everybody in. I do understand that other countries don't make life as easy as the USA does but it is also unfair to overpopulate tihs country and try to give everybody a chance. I'm sorry but this life is about gettin the best of what you have, and if you were born in Mexico or Colombia, work with what you have. It's not the US fault's that there are shitty countries to live in so just stay in there and make the best of it. i DO NOT support illegal immigrants, sorry.

I could care less. I live in Connecticut. Whites are still the majority here. Plus, what's wrong with non-whites? In a 100 years, you will be hard pressed to find a truly white person with all the mixed relationships going on anyway.

I guess it means we are now eligible for Affirmative Action laws. Actually, I don't really care who is the majority as long as they are true Americans and abide by the law.

I'm fine with it. I think the less white America gets, the better America will become with dealing with other non-european countries.
However, the sociologial term of "minority" refers to balance of power, not the percentage of population. For example, consider South Africa under apartide. Blacks made up 98% (if I remember correctly) and whites 2%, howver, whites were the majority because they were in power. I know its weird, but that's the way it is.

Thats still not a minority...They still make up more of the population than any other SINGLE group. Nonwhites isn't one race.

Are you a member of the KKK? Do you want a completely homogenous population? Come on, society is so diverse nowadays, you have to accept it now.

WTF? How do you feel about it? I think it's fine... who cares? We're the only species who cares what color we are. I'm mixed black, white, and america indian (crowe). So what am I? Does that change me? Am I a minority then? Sweetie, I really hope you've given up on that dream of the Aryan race taking over the world... though y'all might just get it blown up for us.
