Not a problem. American has always been a nation of immigrants, and it has always been a nation of shifting ethnic populations. We're a melting pot, and that's just fine.
I'm much more scared about how the Bush/Cheney administration has turned the US into a nation that invades without reason, occupies without causes, imprisons without justice, spies on its own people, and turns every governmental agency into a political operation.

Scared? No. Concerned that American society and culture is changing to something unfamiliar and uncomfortable to me? Yes. I like the basically English/northern European culture that my America has been and I'd feel like I'd lost my home without it. I've never thought we had a race problem so much as a culture problem. I'm not comfortable in a black or Hispanic dominated community as a place to live, although I'm happy to visit and then go home.

Not really.
I'm concerned about other races not wanting to assimilate and become American, thus moving America away from the ideals I grew up with, and the culture, but I have no problem with America increasingly becoming less white.

I'm not particularly concerned about the color of who is having babies, but I do get concerned when I see the numbers of middle- and upper-income births dropping while those that can least afford to have babies continue to crank them out like litters of puppies. The very people who can afford to have babies are not. The average number of people in American households reached an all-time low last year...2.6 people. That means we are not sustaining our population (white, black, brown, whatever). This has profound societal implications over the next few decades.

No, but I am scared that America is moving towards more socialism, because lots of folks simply do not try to compete in a free market economy and feel safer and more familiar being under the care of some "master". I guess to some people, the government is that "giant plantation" that's going to give them food, shelter and work assignments.

What's less-white?
I don't care if my country is black or white, it's a country of natives and immigrants who will naturally intermarry, and with the constant influx of new blood here, we're pretty much guaranteed to be mostly non-white eventually.

That would only be a problem if the non-whites don't share the dream of liberty that the Europeans founded here.
Should I be scared?

Rush is that you, I didn't know you spread hate on Sundays. Keep up the good work, the RNC needs you desperately. We should spread a rumor like, Bill Clinton is really a Muslim. That you have been told by a top-secret source that Clinton has been seen in the presence of Muslims. Or that Bill Clinton has been working as an adviser to Saudi Arabia, maybe he is aiding terrorists. Good work Rush...

America is becoming more diverse, and the white majority is weakening but I really see that as a good thing. I'm sick of white, yacht-club, neo-cons having all the power.

No, I am not scared at all. I am proud of the diversity in this country and am grateful for the opportunity to learn from many different cultures.
