WASHINGTON -- White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, according to new government projections. That's eight years sooner than previous estimates, made in 2004.

The nation has been growing more diverse for decades, but the process has sped up through immigration and higher birth rates among minority residents, especially Hispanics.

It is also growing older.

"The white population is older and very much centered around the aging baby boomers who are well past their high fertility years," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "The future of America is epitomized by the young people today. They are basically the melting pot we are going to see in the future."

The Census Bureau Thursday released population projections through 2050, based on rates for births, deaths and immigration. They are subject to big revisions, depending on immigration policy, cultural changes and natural or manmade disasters.

The U.S. has nearly 305 million people today. The population is projected to hit 400 million in 2039 and 439 million in 2050.

That's like adding all the people from France and Britain, said Steve A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington group that advocates tighter immigration policies.

White non-Hispanics make up about two-thirds of the population, but only 55 percent of those younger than 5.

By 2050, whites will make up 46 percent of the population and blacks will make up 15 percent, a relatively small increase from today. Hispanics, who make up about 15 percent of the population today, will account for 30 percent in 2050, according to the new projections.

Asians, which make up about 5 percent of the population, are projected to increase to 9 percent by 2050.

The population 85 and older is projected to more than triple by 2050, to 19 million.

Good, maybe by then I can get free college for being a minority.

German-Americans for minority benefits!

So will Hispanics later be rolled into the "white" race along with all the Irish and Italians and others?  Gotta have some sort of majority to blame after all.

In 2042 I will start demanding my 40 acres and a mule.

I'll also be 68 years old then.

There'd be little point: that's when we start with the Genocide! 

American Indians are 0.5% of the population in the Unites States.  I don't see this working out for us...

[Tallpine]

That's like adding all the people from France and Britain

No, that's like adding the population of Mexico and Pakistan

!!!!BREED, WHITE PEOPLE, BREED!!!!

It won't matter by 2042, that's 3-4 generations of breeding away.  Generation X is still breeding, Generation Y (mine) is starting to breed, the children of Generation X will be breeding by 2030, and my generation's children will be breeding by 2040.

I have a feeling that by then there will be enough interbreeding that this whole concept of minorities will be gone.  If not, then by 2075 for sure IMO.

[roo_ster]

Don't discount humans' affinity for their own and antipathy for the "other."

Humanity, if one wills to believe evolution, came from a common ancestor and managed to splinter off into thousands of distinct groups.

The current generations of breeding age whites are so self centered and ate up with achieving a life style that represents success that by the time they get it (success) they're too damned old to breed. Sounds cliche' but if I had a nickel for every kid I've heard say they aren't gonna have kids because they're too much trouble, cost too much etc etc I'd be rich. The others just want one kid and that's not gonna cut it.

I must be a real oddball. I want at least three children minimum, possibly four or five or more. But then again that might just be my upbringing... six siblings, and I grew up liking having a lot of kids around.

Actually, that's responsible. It's the welfare queens who pop out a dozen kids by multiple unknown fathers because The State will feed them that are irresponsible.

[MechAg94]

I just saw a white lady in Whataburger with eight kids in tow.  It was a least good that they all seemed to be somewhat behaved and weren't trying to run around all over. 

[Grandpa Shooter]

Depending on what state you live in, whites are already the minority.

Whatever you think of their religious views, you gotta love the Mormon's dedication to procreation.

Amen, brother Maned.  We're always complaining here about high taxes and socialist agendas - it's counterproductive to turn around and say "Hey, all you whities get to humpin'!"  I know plenty of smart, hard-working people who barely afford the kids they have and it's not because they're spending their money promoting their own material success.  Just because American citizens and occupants of a different skin color are reproducing at a rate beyond their means, doesn't mean it's a good idea for everyone.

!!!!BREED, WHITE PEOPLE, BREED!!!!

I'm working on it!!!

[The Annoyed Man]

Yeah. But Chris, there's a much more important reason for you to breed than just demographics: we need more lil' uns to keep unca Muck in line!

Why does it even matter what skin color Americans will be in 2042?

[Headless Thompson Gunner]

Because politicians have learned they can gain power by playing races off against one another.

That's very possible, but who can tell if the current association of blacks/Democrats will survive that long?

[Balog]

It's not race, it's culture. And the culture imported by the 3rd world illegals swelling that particulars races numbers does not bode well for America.

[Dntsycnt]

Yeah, I'm gonna call this a non-issue.

Well, maybe my grandchildren or great-grandchildren can benefit from "affirmative action"
