WASHINGTON — After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.

Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities — including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country’s history.

Such a turn has been long expected, but no one was certain when the moment would arrive — signaling a milestone for a nation whose government was founded by white Europeans and has wrestled mightily with issues of race, from the days of slavery, through a civil war, bitter civil rights battles and, most recently, highly charged debates over efforts to restrict immigration.

While over all, whites will remain a majority for some time, the fact that a younger generation is being born in which minorities are the majority has broad implications for the country’s economy, its political life and its identity. “This is an important tipping point,” said William H. Frey, the senior demographer at the Brookings Institution, describing the shift as a “transformation from a mostly white baby boomer culture to the more globalized multiethnic country that we are becoming.”

Signs that the country is evolving this way start with the Oval Office, and have swept hundreds of counties in recent years, with 348 in which whites are no longer in the majority. That number doubles when it comes to the toddler population, Mr. Frey said. Whites are no longer the majority in four states and the District of Columbia, and have slipped below half in many major metro areas, including New York, Las Vegas and Memphis.

As one of a few guys on this forum in an interracial marriage (I think Mursilis is too), I claim responsibility for this horrible problem. I keep pumping out kids, man, but I only get one white kid per two births! Only so much a man can do.

I don't think this is anything to worry about. If we impart the values of this nation to our children, skin color doesn't make a lick of difference. And for all my blustering about the importance of religion, I'd wager Hispanics are more devout than I am. And all the Vietnamese I know have work ethics that put mine to shame. And all the blacks I know have better relationships with their families.

I plan on making some half/halfs in the next couple years as well. Us whities got to diversify. The mutt always has the best genetics for missing out on all those lovely recessive genetic disorders that our inbred forfathers cultured for so many generations.

This is very worrying since there is the 3rd world invasion of America and will only lead to the destruction of the US

It's odd how there's a mix of ethnicity and race when these stories come up. Whites are lumped together without regard to their ethnicity while Hispanics are lumped together without regard to their race. In the end I'm not really sure what use these statistics provide.

It is a Muslim Plot to wipe out white men.

O'Bammah is using subliminal programming to hypnotise white people.

I also care if the parents are drunks or heavy drug users. People like that have no business raising kids.

This should be a signal to stop certain types of racial politics and affirmative action. The whole Trayvon Martin case shows the absurdity and dangers of applying a 1960s paradigm to the 2010s.

If not, there's a chance America 40 years from now will be quite fractured.

That goes for all really. It exists all over the country. My town is basically new Portugal it is filled with so many portuguese. Chicago has a high greek/polish population. Texas and other border states have high mexican population. All big cities have a high black population really. People tend to flock where there are others of their ethnicity.

Caucasians will remain the plurality ethnicity for a long time to come. You don't get "minority" status just because you are outnumbered by all other ethnic groups combined.

Furthermore, it's hard to argue that you're a disadvantaged minority when your ethnic group still controls the lion's share of wealth and power. Numbers don't matter as much as control of resources.
