I noticed a few questions relating to "white people becoming a minority".
In a global sense, white people are ALREADY in the minority, well and truly, so I don't see the point in worrying about something that is already a fact.
This of course, is quite apart from the fact there is only one race anyway, homosapiens, however I'm speaking to those so concerned about race as they see it, therefore I am using their interpretation.

If we divided the world's population by 60 million there would be 100 humans, of whom:
57 are Asian
21 are Europeans
14 are Hispanics from the Western Hemisphere
8 are Africans
51 are females
70 are non-white
70 are non-Christian; 30 are Christian
6 individuals control 50% of the world's wealth--all Americans
70 are unable to read
50 suffer from malnutrition
1 is near death and 1 is about to be born
and only 1 has a college education

If anything, people should be more concered about the number suffering malnutrition, or the 70% who can't read and write. Just for the record I hate that word "interracial". I am 51 and you know I had never heard of the word until 4 years ago. It is divisive and should be banned.

Because their are ignorant, narrow-minded ppl who feels that one Race is dominant over all the "minorities". They feel threatened. Little punks who cant accept competition and Diversity in a DIVERSE world. They want to stand behind this large and in charge powerful facede. It's all bullshit. Their stupid, why waste time caring about the losers? I am a Black Woman and I, in o way, claim myself to be a Minority. I hate the word! I'm just worried about trying to rid the world of Racism and Hate period, not trying to exterminate a Culture. I have better things to do and plenty of other things to be worried about (like how every night a child dies from starvation)................

i think it's possible they are worried about it because of the language barrier, take CA for example whites have been the minority for about 3 years now and the main problem it has caused is we all need to learn spanish now. It's a narrow view but many people especially racists tend to be narrow minded rather than looking at the big picture. Then again, you could say what if the majority of america was hispanic? would we have to rewrite the constitution in spanish?

I don't even get what would be so wrong with whites being a minority every other race has been a minority and I'd hate to think most whites still think they are the superior dominant race because like you said we are all one.

Same reason that blacks are worried about becoming a majority.
