how do you definew minority,,,population or dominance of another type

I believe if there only a hundred white guys left in this country, They still would be seen as the oppressors

Whites have the smallest persentage of any race

Answer 1

Well, white folk are very aggressive and independent thinkers, willing to risk quite a bit for the gain of some goal. In about 35 or so years, whites will be a minority in the US, so it is just a matter of time. Then, will concessions be made for this new "minority"? It will be interesting to see how it will be with the shoe on the other foot. Already, white kids in Indiana are having difficulty landing fast-food jobs because hispanic managers want to just hire hispanic.

So, not only is the global market changing, but so is our domestic. We can only speculate as to how things will be 100 years from now. Will America even be democratic then? Will Mexico reclaim all of the southern states of America? Will the Bible begin to be among books that are banned?

We are certain of one thing: Change will happen. As Betty Davis said in ALL ABOUT EVE, 1950, "fasten your seatbelt, darling, it's going to be a bumpy ride".

Whites (caucasians)have always seen themselves as superior to the other races on the earth. Throughout history they have found many ways to force this view upon the other races through slavery etc. Only recently have we realised everyone should be treated equally. I think if you look at it though, over time white people will become an even smaller minority. If a white person and a person of another race have kids the kid is going to be mixed race. Over time everyone will mix together. A black parent and white parent would almost always produce a kid who would be dark skinned. Although i heard somewhere (not confirmed) that a red haired person and a black person would struggle to have a child and if they did their skin would be patchy beccause the melanin(which gives the brown colour) would be globuled together in the carrotene (which gives red hair). Thats, in a way, what freckles are.

Remember caucasian doesnt just cover white people it covers people from the likes of the middle east etc who have slightly darker skin.

So as i said white people are one of the minorities now and will be even more so in the future.

Just to add though it seems black people are generally more athletic than white people. eg basketball, athletics, etc

Answer 3

Whites are in the political and numerical majority. That means everyone else is in the numerical MINORITY. And in many ways, enjoy less privilege in society.

Whites have been applauded in various venues throughout American history. They have even claimed the accomplishments of minorities at times. Minorities take up the margins only in History books, when they're even mentioned. Notice all the White men in Political Office? Not much melanin LOL!

Answer 4

Who said whites have the most technological and artistic accomplishments? Math as we know it was developed by Arabs and Indians. A black man invented the filament for the "Edison" light bulb (which he did not invent).

But to answer your question, whites are a MAJORITY in the United States, because they are the largest population group (almost 75% of Americans are white).

Answer 5

haha, yeah, considering...

We really are a dominant bunch! Look at England. It once owned over 25% of the world during it's empire days. At it was all because of a bunch of Europeans on a little island off of continental Europe.

Answer 6

Are you feeling ignored?

I don't know how, all I learned about in school was white history.

What about Socrates, Alexander, Christopher Columbus, George Washington, William Shakespeare, Elvis, The Pope, George Bush, The Beatles?

We don't hear enough about them?

Answer 7

How come people that are the most vocal about being white are the white people with the worst education?

Answer 8

Hmm, first of all, don't say "us" whites or the word "we".
You individually haven't done nothing special. Don't say it like it was your achievement.
My friend who's a soldier was also outraged by that.
Some idiot on tv said "we need to go to war". He was outraged and said "we? What does he mean we? I'm the one going to war! I'm the one risking my life!!!"

Just don't talk/think like your in the same level as those achievers.

Answer 9

seriously the only white skinned people who consider their selves white are Americans. Germans call themselves Germans, dutch is dutch, even white Africans say they are Africans. so not a minority of the world just united states. why is it so hard for people in the u.s to say they are American instead of, white, black, Hispanic? why is u.s so focused on race?

Answer 10

Because like any minority, we are oppressed by the majority, who individually claim to be minorities.
