Minorities expected to be majority in 2050

By 2050, minorities will be the majority in America, and the number of residents older than 65 will more than double, according to projections released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Minorities, classified as those of any race other than non-Hispanic, single-race whites, currently constitute about a third of the U.S. population, according to Census figures. But by 2042, they are projected to become the majority, making up more than half the population. By 2050, 54 percent of the population will be minorities.

Clue: white hetrosexual males are already the minority here in the U.S. feminism and affirmative action (the unconstitutional right to refuse to hire a white man/ reverse discrimination)are the most to blame.

The whole race in addition to sexual orientation is a little deep. In fact, does the Censu Bureau ask if you're gay? I think the point of the findings is that in 40-something years, people will eventually mix up together quite a bit, thus eliminating one particular race as being a majority.

I guess I'll actually be able to benefit from the affirmative action.

Due to the use of eugenics race may never disapear. People who want children to be of a certain ethnic background and therefore demonstrate the phenotopic and neurological characteristics of it will be able to make children like that without parents.

Not only that, but they you could make your child significantly smarter, more mentaly stable, attractive and physically fit in a variety of different hereditary and racial models on a level that only the extrodinarily gifted enjoy today.

The biggest issua I see with this howeveris that at some point population restraints will take hold and well have to work out some way of dealing with them or have to return to an existence where having children is a zero sum game. We would be reduced to animals if we let people who naturaly or unnaturaly try to reproduce themselfs to dominence by out breeding everyone else.

Maybe we should have all the ethnic groups of the world give themselfs the same kind of land rights that native Americans currently use to secure their specific culture and race from intrusion. Following that instill reproductive quotas that only allow humans and other sentient beings to reproduce when resources allow. Otherwise von neuman machines and people who are made to breed just to gain more power will overturn everything no matter how free and democratic the system they live under is. It has been argued from extrapolations in real world situations that this would likely result in both halting overpopulation as well acting to stabilize the process of racial and cultual displacement to very low levels, If at all. It would also have the effect of helping to liberalize the parts of the world that are the most effected by backwards ideologies by making people more self sufficiant and able to persue personal interests outside of the rigidly enforced puritin or nationalistic family life that makes them so awful in the first place, especialy when people are allowed to use medical technology to increase their intelligence and life style dramatically.

I think that this is almost certainly the future for a varity of reasons. If you don't like it, tough, you can thank the cultures that force people to have as many children as possible even when they can't take care of them because they are either "insurance" or are just a cultural mandate by intolerant "family values" types. The first world wouldn't be suffering from overpopulation issues if the third world wasn't and had to constantly import themselfs to our countries to make money. How this will effect our economy and the US as a whole is uncertain. But It doesn't take long to find out what we would be like if we never took in third world imigrants if we look at Japan or non imigration Europian nations. I have to say they look very nice. And considering that most of the age related issues that are talked about so much will be treated by advanced medical technology by the time they arrive I doubt those nations will be regreting it.

It will begin with the democratization of medicine and the increase of nationalistic fever over both imigration and the problem of resouces becoming increasingly scarce. Followed by the creation of strong AI and several other major scientific break throughs.

Maybe there'll be Affirmative Action for white males....but I doubt the Hispanics will be as kind (or that stupid) as we are to them. The American Century is over folks. From here on out its downhill for the once great USA. Have your kids and grand kids learn Spanish - they'll need it. The future belongs to China; the sleeping giant has awoken.

URGENTLY!!!! TRANSFER And SEND ALL!!!! TO DISTRIBUTE In Georgia EVERYWHERE!!! In the Western Georgia, in Kutaisi, groups banderovcev from the Western Ukraine and Baltic nationalists who have changed clothes in the Russian form are generated and have received the Russian weapon.

Many cities of the Western Georgia are now left by the Georgian armies and police, and Russia does not wish to begin occupation actually Georgia, therefore there full anarchy, the population is given to itself and is without protection. According to military journalists, the USA hands ukrainan and Balts prepare for grandiose provocation - mass atrocities among local population under a kind of the Russian militarians.

All of them, certainly, speak Russian also white so the Georgian population will not distinguish them from Russian. With these European "misters" video-and the photoequipment for "Certificates" "Russian" atrocities. PROVOCATIONS are possible In the NEAR FUTURE!

Now all Georgia is disconnected from the domain .ру and through vkontakte.ru notify the big number the Georgian it is impossible - they here simply are not present. Georgians! If at you is making related or friends in the Western or the Central Georgia, in cities left by the Georgian army - let take out IMMEDIATELY women, children, old men, it is desirable in Tbilisi, there provocations hardly will be, there the Georgian army.

Men let create national teams for self-defense. In case of provocation, let take nazi swines in captivity alive. Georgians! RUSSIAN to YOU NOT ENEMIES! In Russia everyone divide Georgian people and "Georgian" - that is the American occupational government! Anybody in Russia does not wish sufferings brotherly Georgian people!

The Russian army never will go on atrocities among the peace population! The most malicious enemies of Russia both Russian people Baltic and West-Ukrainian nationalists, ideological successors SS "Galichina", " wood brothers " and " Latvian arrows " will not stop before what to expose Russian murderers and barbarians! TO DISTRIBUTE URGENTLY! EACH HOUR ON the ACCOUNT!

Gay men are ,as with lesbians,transexuals and,bisexuals are,along with african americans protected by the anti hate crime bill . Women are protected by the violence against women act(vawa). White hetrosexual males are the only members of the U.S. population that are not afforded any special protections.

This hints that white hetrosexual males, the initial targets of feminism and radical feminism, are facing extinction.

White women worry about getting fat, and I think that's why they don't have many children. White people tend to have fertility issues as well.

2050? I doubt mankind will be in existance by then.

Minorities are too foolish to realise the world population is almost double what can realistically be subtained.

Anyone living by then will wish they weren't.

Inheriting a world of devastation and poverty isn't much of a prize.

Cut and paste the passage in the US Constitution that says this you dolt.

No wonder no one will hire you when they can outsource your job for 1/10th what it costs to keep you awake on the job.
