Why wouldn't this be the case? There are lots of interracial relationships in the US and lots involving whites. Anytime anyone has a baby thats not 2 white people it goes into the "other" category so this is bound to happen.


The last census reported that the group with the highest growth rate is those who classify themselves of mixed race.

There is nothing wrong with it either way.

Change is always happening.





really? what is the time frame they base that on, ,the last ten years? or are they basing it on the change in rate from last decade to this decade?

I ask , because if mixed race increased from five percent to ten percent that would be a one hundred percent increase

but if hispanics went from 20 percent to 30 percent, that would only be a fifty percent increase


although, 10 percent(30-20) is more than five percent (10-5)




Just what I said. The group with the highest growth rate in the last ten years have been those who classify themselves as mixed race.

If I were Emperor of the world, I would forbid marriages within one's one race.


That would definitely advance what is already going to happen...lol

35 mill hispanic/latinos in 2000
48.4 mill in 2010

6.8 million reported more than one race in 2000
9 million reported two or more races in 2010


so where hispanics increased by 13.4 percent (a 38 percent increase from where they were)
mixed race increased by merely 2.2 ( a 32 percent increase from where they WERE)

because 2000 was the first year they included the category for two or more race,, it will take time to truly see the difference in how quickly these groups are increasing,, but I will imagine it wont be mixed race

just a guess though

I am not sure what your point is but the news reported that the highest growth rate was reported by those who classify themselves as mixed race.

If the census says that is what happened then that is what happened.

the point was just about interracial dating, as the subject being discussed

I was only clearing up what seemed to be some idea that interracial dating was going to be the leading cause of whites becoming a minority

I think interracial dating has increased at a pretty consistently slow rate (2.2 percent in ten years isnt much) that will probably take a long time to impact the demographic status of whites in america

I think the increase in the hispanic population (a 13.4 percent increase in that same ten years) will probably have much more immediate impact if it remains consistent,,,

which I think it will

It is also because "wealthy" people have less children generally I think. Since most of the "wealth" is in white hands they populate slower as they have means to do other things. Children bring happiness and the not so wealthy have more to increase the happiness of family as they cannot afford the happiness of spending money.

Just my opinion. I agree with the professor we will all be brown skinned in the future as it goes now. At least there should not be any prejudice then?????

I dont know. IT would be interesting to see the studies on children of 'wealthy' people as opposed to the poor people. Looking at Brad and Angelina, I would expect rich people to breed as much or more than others because they have resources to pay others to look after their kids and to do the things they want to do with little need for sacrifice.

From the families I've seen, don't know if it holds true, the poorer seem to put more emphasis on family. I know I wanted three but my ex stopped at two, when I had wealth.

the problem with that plan

UNTIL you go on welfare, thats going to be alot of child support
and once you are on welfare, not many women are gonna want you,,,

and no able bodied person without children would prefer welfare over a paying job,, there is no comparison in terms of freedom and income,,,
