Whites will be a minority in the United States in the next 40-50 years. What do you think?

There is nothing to think about.  That is a fact.  And it is not only whites, there are no pure races anymore, so just think it as evolution.  Then it will feel good.

Any one who thinks whites don't get discriminated against is VERY VERY ignorant! Any white person who has grown up as a minority in there area has felt discrimination as bad as any one else. The truth is that discrimination happens to all races. Just because we (yes, I'm white) are the (slowly declining) majority, minorities think that it's just a free ride or something. I get really tired of hearing all the sob stories about how "your ancestors" did this to "my ancestors". I personally haven't lynched, enslaved, stolen land from, or denied anyone, and if discrimination is going to get any better, all races need to focus on ways to better future instead of holding on to the grudges of a bunch of dead guys. The past is the past....I intend on moving forward!

I'm not sure about your idea that whites are now a minority race in America, I live in an ethnically diverse city(Seattle) and that's not what I see. I checked out the Wikipedia entry on ethnic demographics and it said that America is 81% white. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_demographics_of_the_United_States\nI agree that the demographics are shifting and that the percentage of Americans that are white is going down. In which case it would make perfect sense that racism is increasing. If you think about arguments that racists make, how they think races should remain "pure", whatever that is, shifting demographics and more biracial couples would affirm their beliefs and confirm that their "purity" is in danger.\nNot only that but racists will act more and more out of fear that with the shifting demographic that they will soon be in the minority. \nI think it's important to note that racists have always been in the minority. It's not the size of the group that matters, it's the extremes to which people who are filled with hatred for others will go to try to further their twisted beliefs.

Yes i think we will someday. i think the first step however has to be a Vice Presifent of a different race. i dont think that our country will make that big of a jump from all white presidents to a president of a different race. from what i have read so far Obama seems to be the best bet he is young and doesnt seem to take much shit. i dont know if the big money in government will allow him to make that far but i sure hope he tries.

Latinos will be the majority in the US in 20-25 years!\n\nWhat then?  This country will have a VERY different face, tone, direction.  National security an issue?  I think so...\nNational interests re-aligned?  I think so...  Everything will be in Spanish, then English, the dollar will be incredibly LOW (look at Mexico today - look at ANY hispanic country today)...  Civil war???  Maybe...  \n\nLook at what happened to countries in Europe.  Most recently - Yugoslavia.  Quick history lesson for those that don't know, might bring a wierd, yet possible new perspective to this thing.  One that could happen.  Got me thinking anyway.  I would hate for something like this to happen:  I was in Kosovo during that whole war (and stuff leading up to it).  The whole deal was over ethnic Albanians that came to live and settle, then over-populate the southern area of Serbia (Yugoslavia).  Within 30-40 years, they completely re-populated the region (10 to 1 ratio of Albanians to Serbs), took jobs, changed the language, changed the religion, lowered living standards (dirty streets, neighborhoods, more crime).  Pissed off the Serbs something fierce!  Granted, what they did under SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC (that sick bastard) was disgusting, by deciding to "ethnically cleanse" the area - BUT it just goes to show how a MADMAN could rile up what the local people who were frustrated TRULY felt about being having their country essentially "taken over."  MILOSEVIC just played on their frustrations and nationalism to the Nth degree.  Then took the still somewhat communist style army and started whacking away at the Albanians in Kosovo.  It was pretty grim.  I'd hate to see our country ever delve into such dire territory.  YET IT IS NOT COMLETELY UNIMAGINABLE.  HOW MANY CONVERSATIONS HAVE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAD ABOUT WANTING THEM ALL TO JUST GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM, ya know?\n\nBad stuff.  Anyways, I'm not saying some ignorant crap like they should all go back to where they came from - casue we're all essentially related to immigrants.  Yet we have to examine what we can handle in this country.  Our principles that our forefathers read as they came to the US fresh off the boats from Europe of "Give us your poor, etc.." should be held near and dear to us as principles, but REALITY needs to kkep us in check.  How much more can we afford right now?  ESPECIALLY when old G.W. is spending BAZILLIONS on the war!  We're sorta bankrupt right now.  We need to close the doors, lock 'em, fix up our own house, ask our friends that want to visit (prospective immigrants) to wait a little longer while we clean our house up for guests, then maybe let some more in.  We should let them in on an equal basis, too.  Right now we have WAY TOO FREAKIN MANY MEXICANS (and CENTRAL AMERCIANS are quickly climbing the ranks)  Where are the CANADIANS?  Seriously?  Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the country (and ballooned to that number in record time).  We need to balance the books as far as immigrants go.  How about from the EUROPEAN continent - any takers?  ASIA?  AUSTRALIA?  ANTARCTICA (I heard it's pretty cold there)?  SOUTH AMERICA?  Once we even out our supposed "melting pot", then we can re-examine letting in some more MEXICANS.  \n\nWE NEED A GREAT WALL, NOW!!!  Vicente Fox (Mexican President) said he will SUE the US if we start to violate the rights of his people who are illegally crossing the border (that he knows about and is obviously complicit in).  This was spuured by Bush's recent decision to put National Gaurd troops at the US border as a stop-gap measure (hopefully just temporary until we get a ton of new border agents).  Dude will SUE us???  Gimme a break!  ASS!  Then he said he might start sending his troops to the border to make sure we are not hurting his people.  Why not just SEND YOUR FREAKIN TROOPS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE OR WORK WITH US SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS

I agree with you in principal, and I feel political correctness is a form of "New Age McCarthyism". Unfortunately, the pendulum has swung the other way for now, but it was so badly biased in the past, that this is a natural effect. Hopefully it will find a stasis, and color, race or religion won't matter in the next few generations.

I think both of them are so far gone now that its hopeless. \n\nTwenty years ago we sacrificed socioeconomic status for race and it didn't work so now we're twenty years behind where we would've been. \n\nAmerica will be a third world country in about ten years because of it. We need to start learning how to speak Chinese now.

Within this decade, not likely. Yet, within a generation, based on immigration patterns allowed by European nations, and the prolific breeding patterns of Muslims (especially when compared to Europeans), then yes. It will be interesting to watch the 'social democracies' of Europe deal with it, as they are bred and voted out of existence. As all of their hard work and investments go into the wealth redistribution programs they now champion, and then are filtered away by the very political state they created, it will be laughable. They denounce the US, and its current actions, but they are a scant few years away.

yeah, in like 500-1000 years like everyone is going to become the same skin color because of the race mixing going on until then.  we will be all the same color and we wont really know who is german, swedish,  or african for sure.  maybe they will be racist against people with i.e. blue eyes, or black hair. but not because skin color or ancestry

Organizations (and I mean all of them!) have a tendency to outlive their usefulness; so even if there is no racism in 2050, my guess is that the NAACP will still be around.

It's happening right now before your eyes. The USA is becoming marginalized just like Europe and most recently England. It will be drastically apparent in about 20 years, as China begins to approach the US economy in overall size (GDP).\n\nIt is interesting to see that some Americans are starting to sense something historical is happening. Historians of the future 100 years from now, will look back at the early 1990's when China first started taking off. Yes, it has been happening for that long, but 99% of Americans just didn't pay attention, now there is no stopping China and India from becoming the center of the world for what probably will be for the rest of the existence of humanity.

Travis, forgive me if you're right in principle you're may not be right in the form nor in the general reasoning.\n\nAccording to your thought you own that country because you went there, colonized it with the force, made it yours and now you're there and rule. \nIt's right for that reason that, just like you did, anyone else could go there, kick your butt and settle a brand new type of civilization (It will happen eventually but i think you'll be too old or dead to see it happening). \n\nBut that is not the point!\nThe point is simply that the reasoning WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS greatly sucks in general for the following reason.\n- It's true the US are a nation of immigrants. But it is also true that, leaving natives aside, it was originally colonized by WHITE CAUCASIANS OF ENGLISH ORIGINS. Therefore, if US are what they are in terms of economy, living standards, etc, that is MAINLY DUE to the organization inprint provided by those ENGLISH WHITE CAUCASIANS. No one is saying that African slaves or Chinese didn't do their part. But we are are not talking about the workers but rather about the neural system that shaped the US as they are today. That was due to WHITE CAUCASIAN ENGLISH PEOPLE (It's not a case if UK is still a power to reckon with economically, while the rest of Europe is going down). That measn that allowing too many illegals or even legals of any nation whose traditions and habits are very different from yours, could or would (longterm) an uneven balancing of the racial groups. In short one new racial/religious group could begin to gain power and exert more pressure to dominate. The thing appears ridiculous untill the amount of WHITE CAUCASIANS is still majority (and strenghtened by the amount of immigrates who share your own values) but it's not said that will always be so, if the US keep allowing in "PIGS AND DOGS" just to show up how democratic they are (Even though after they let in all those people have to control some 200 million telephones to be sure no one is misbehaving). \nOne thing the US and Europe as well should begin to think about, in the light of the recent events is:\n\n1) Stopping immigration flows; especially those relating to some specific ethnic or religious groups.\n2) Begin to expel all illegals, no matter what and regardless of any diplomatic issue \n3) Ensure the racial balance will always be on the white caucasian with afros (whom in good and bad seem to be those who better adapted to the real US values)\n\nSee, i am not an American citizen; I am an Italian who lives in Italy but i see my country infested with immigrants who kill, scrounge, steal jobs, ask for rights they would never give us in their countries, try to force us to ply to their wills (Muslims in particular), organize in gangs (Latinos in general), rape whole families, rob and kill people with a smile and then laugh (Romanians, Albanians), kidnap kids, steal and scrounge off the government (ROM Gipsies). And all this happens despite our unemployment rate ranges between 8 and 50% in some areas, which should let you understand we DO NOT NEED IMMIGRATES in Italy. I think you don't need many of them in the US either as in most cases all what they do is working for 1/10 of what any american would do, killing the job market.\nWhat a pity your reasoning was based on FORCE, while the actual problem is much more complex. But i do see your point and your rage (Which is shared by many others around the world)

I don't think it has to do with minority, i think it has to do with the level of education combined with the level of professionalism. Then again, there are so many people in the society who don't believe that minorities are cotton-making, house cleaners who are nothing. If the stereo types are dropped maybe we couldhave a preident who is a minority. But hey, this is coming from a 14 year old's point of view.

in the next 5 years there will be a lot of people unable to pay their mortgages, so a lot of repos.  in 10 we will be recovering from the disaster of the "hidden inflation" technique of money management by the Fed.  in 25 years we will be asking China if we can have some input and a share of their base on the Moon.  in 40 years there will be no unions, and no consumer protection.  in 50 there will be a great depression, followed by the rise of a labor movement, and the restoration of consumer protections.  Rinse & repeat.

Yes, I believe it is, but not in the way you might think.  Today white people face the institutionalized discrimination of affirmative action.  The country used to be 90% white (in the 50s) but now we're being overrun by millions of third world immigrants -- within 50 years and maybe less white people will be a minority in a country we founded (and yes we did found this country, all of the Founding Fathers were white)  And with the stigma of "racism" we're not allowed to say anything about it because that would be hopelessly racist.  White people are being asked to accept our own dispossession, the balkanization of our country and our future minority status.

Absolutely!! They only think of the here and now and what is good for the MINORITY instead of the MAJORITY.....\n\nI give this country until 2050 (if that) and our standard of living is going to be in the shi77er

Oh, I believe it is possible that there will be a civil war here. But then when you have young people that believe it is against the law to say anything bad about the president, and if not against the law, should be...then one does have to wonder how they came to think they have any freedom what so ever. I do believe civil war on our ground is coming. I don't believe it will be white against black, or black against Asian...it will be poor against rich...it will be the have nots against the haves...and baby there are lot more of the have nots than anyone else.
